It's strongly recommended to set both explicitly as the behavior could |
| 16 |
change in future EAPI versions, and to ensure that you actually think |
| 17 |
about which deps are build deps and which are runtime deps. |

Also there is nothing wrong with policies being stricter than the |
| 19 |
underlying spec. |
