Bug Description
It is common with developing ROS packages to have keys added to the package.xml that are not in the public rosdep. The following cases are below, but there may be more.
1. If these dependencies are internal dependencies and never get added to rosdep.
2. If a custom version of system library and we don't want to install locally. We would clone the repository into our workspace like VTK and add a package.xml with a unique package name, different than what is currently in rosdep and then use this in our packages.xml so catkin knows to build this package prior to our other packages.
Propose adding the ability to list skip keys for rosdep to solve the issue.

Thanks Levi! I updated the title to reflect that this should apply to both Catkin and Colcon plugins, as both use rosdep.
