The DEPENDS warning you are getting can come from the buildlink.mk
file that you include. If you try to remove the include line and run
again the pkglint, you will see the error disappere (I hope).

So I think that this is correct and something should be corrected
anywhere else, not your package.

This is right. DEPENDS can't go in the MAINTAINER section.

I'm also having the same warnings on a MESSAGE file. Though I guess that
they can be forget as they are used intentionally. Another thing would be
if you hardcoded /usr/pkg, which should be ${LOCALBASE} instead...
