Very good question. I posted a document here: http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/pkgbuild-ips.php See the section about Dependencies near the end. Basically, pkgbuild translates the svr4 package names to IPS package names when publishing packages. It uses the legacy actions to identify the corresponding IPS package names. Note that this documents describes the next version of pkgbuild, which I will release very soon. SourceJuicer will use this new version.
