No one agrees on which @system packages can be omitted from (R)DEPEND. |

The devmanual says that they can all be omitted: |

But a lot of people will tell you that if you link to some library (say, |
| 16 |
libz) from a @system package, you should still include it in RDEPEND. |

| 18 |
information. I think this is what vapier meant. |

And then opinion (2.a) is that the last rule is correct, except for |
| 21 |
certain things (like libc) that "everyone" links to. |
