Because DEPEND is only needed for the actual build (src_* functions).
With binary packages, all the pkg_* functions are run but DEPEND
packages are not required to be installed. So anything external run in a
pkg_* function must be in RDEPEND because it cannot be just in DEPEND,
and those are the only two options.

Does that help?
