  | Actually, "make fetch" seems to do that without the NO_DEPENDS=, since

Please.   And yes, it is a good thing.   I was wondering if my system was
somehow broken for a while there, as I've been doing "make fetch" on a
system where almost nothing is installed (or ever will be) for all kinds
of packages - and it all just works.  All this comment about other packages
being mysteriously installed made me think I was fluking it all the time...

Do the depends stuff only when it is actually required.
