does not actually satisfy the dependencies, it only states that
they should be satisfied.
For example, if a hard, runtime dependency
(<filename>RDEPENDS</filename>) of another package is satisfied
(<link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'><filename>RDEPENDS</filename></link>)
of another package is satisfied
at build time through the <filename>PACKAGES_DYNAMIC</filename>
variable, but a package with the module name is never actually
produced, then the other package will be broken.
Thus, if you attempt to include that package in an image,
you will get a dependency failure from the packaging system
during <filename>do_rootfs</filename>.

Typically, if there is a chance that such a situation can
occur and the package that is not created is valid
without the dependency being satisfied, then you should use
<filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> (a soft runtime dependency)
instead of <filename>RDEPENDS</filename>.
<link linkend='var-RRECOMMENDS'><filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename></link>
(a soft runtime dependency) instead of
<filename>RDEPENDS</filename>.
