Yes, a packing howto would be interesting, especially dependency 
resolution. My current approach is working so far, but I'm wondering if it 
could not be streamlined. Are there any void-tools that support manual 
dependency resolution?

Also I don't think I understand your reasoning of what to add to which 
"depends"-variable. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but this is how I 
divide them:


   - *hostmakedepends:* All the stuff that the building machine needs to be 
   able to run through the building process. Mostly tools, like pkg-config or 
   somesuch. This is needed regardless of which architecture you are building 
   for.
   - *makedepends:* All stuff that is needed du build the package on the 
   building machine. Usually devel-versions of the required libraries. This is 
   dependant on the architecture you are building for.
   - *depends:* All the stuff required to run the package on the target 
   system. Not needed at all on the building machine, and dependant on the 
   target architecture.
   

I'm probably stating something obvious here, but there you go :)
