pgbouncer and postgresql dependency

Hi,

Since pgbouncer is just a connection pooler and is not linked to postgresql library, why does postgresql have to be a dependency? It's very possible that the postgresql server is located in another server.

/etc/pacman.d # pacman -Si pgbouncer
Repository     : extra
Name           : pgbouncer
Version        : 1.5.4-6
Description    : A lightweight connection pooler for PostgreSQL
Architecture   : x86_64
URL            : http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgbouncer
Licenses       : BSD
Groups         : None
Provides       : None
Depends On     : libevent>=2.0  postgresql

/etc/pacman.d # ldd /usr/bin/pgbouncer 
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffc2bfe000)
        libevent-2.0.so.5 => /usr/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5 (0x00007fc559fc1000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007fc559d89000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc5599db000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fc5597bd000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc55a209000)

Re: pgbouncer and postgresql dependency

If you think it's a problem file a feaure request via the Bug Tracker to have it amended.  Or just use ABS to try to build it without.
