Description:

It's a somewhat unusual situation: Medit and all its hard dependencies are in the official repositories, however, one of its optional dependencies, vte-legacy, which is required to use the integrated terminal, is in the AUR only. Is it possible to add it as optdepend though it is only available in the AUR?

Additional info:
* medit 1.2.0-5


Steps to reproduce:

Install medit, try to use the integrated terminal, realize that vte-legacy is required which is not listed as optdepend. ;)
This task depends upon

We've been aggressively removing AUR optdepends from repo packages, so no.
