Indirect dependencies occur when a recipe does not declare a depency
on "foo" because it depends on "bar", which in turn depends on
"foo". This happens to work, but is fragile and should better be avoided
by listing "foo" explicitly, because:
* "bar" might not depend on "foo" in all configurations
* future changes to "bar" might remove the dependency on "bar"
The traditional "build-deps" QA check skips indirect dependencies
because they are listed in the task dependencies. Checking for
indirect dependencies remembers that instead of aborting the check and
then later tries to filter out false positives by looking at DEPENDS.
Some common packages which can be assumed to be present are covered by
INDIRECT_BUILD_DEPS_WHITELIST. That list needs to be reviewed and also
take into account the build configuration - glibc is listed there at
the moment, but might not actually be the configured base library.
However, there are at least two false positives left in the current code:
* aliases for recipes via PROVIDES
* unnecessarily linking against libs which are not really used
See the TODOs in the code.
