This does seem like a reasonable dependency. As a side note, never run 'pacman -Sy <foo>' unless you have a specific reason to, such as updating only archlinux-keyring prior to other upgrades. -Sy should almost never be used without -u.

+1 for adding to wine and wine-staging:
optdepends=(wine-gecko wine-mono)

According to wiki entries in
- https://wiki.winehq.org/Mono
- https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko
, Wine does automatically look for system-installed Gecko and Mono packages and tries to use them when the need arises.

And actually wine looks for a specific version of those dependencies, which is hardcoded.
