My $0.02 on the topic of C dependencies:
We actually had a case in elementary when you had to forcibly specify an additional C dependency because of glib's deprecation of threading API to build absolutely anything with the current (at the time) Vala version. So specifying C packages is actually required sometimes, athough in theory it shouldn't be. Technically you can consider that a workaround or a hack and state that it should be fixed on a different level than the build system.
