Why can't namcap be made to verify those types of dependencies?
It certainly shouldn't be reporting dependencies aren't needed when it actually didn't check one way or the other!
Checking for arch=('any') certainly would've worked for me. But, instead of just assuming it's correct, it should explain it can't verify arch=('any') types of packages.
