This part is clearly a no-go for me: we also have ~300 hundred generic
packages, and only 10% of them need host-pkgconf. So adding
host-pkgconf as a mandatory dependency that is in fact useless for 90%
of the packages is clearly not acceptable.
We should really aim at *reducing* the dependencies and the build time,
not bringing useless dependencies into the build of packages that don't
need them.
Best regards,
Thomas
