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.
