the quoted sentence indicates:
1. depends_lib == linked to it (needs revbump)
2. depends_build/depends_run == only needs its programs.
I'm saying that unless we define depends_build/depends_run as only pertaining
to programs, that 2 isn't necessarily true (an application can have a runtime
dependency on a library or plugin that it loads at runtime but isn't linked
with).
