netctl owns /usr/bin/wifi-menu, yet this is unusable because it expects dialog library on the system.

Either move wifi-menu to a separate package, or make netctl depend on dialog. Current state is really awkward. No, optdepend is not desired.
This task depends upon

Actually, a separate package for wifi-menu, which would depend not only on dialog, but also on wpa_supplicant makes much more sense to me. There's really no point in keeping wifi-menu in nectl package if it's not usable at all.

Not usable at all? Install dialog and you're done. It's already an optdep, which is exactly as it should be.
