At least in my case, I have sometimes issues to know if certain package should be a DEPEND or a BDEPEND with EAPI7. Maybe we could report warnings when a dep is suspicious as is already done sometimes when a usual package that should be in DEPEND is put as RDEPEND

Thanks a lot

repoman support has been removed per bug 835013.

Please file a new bug (or, I suppose, reopen this one) if you feel this check is still applicable to pkgcheck and doesn't already exist.
