With the current nature of dpkg-raw DEPENDS and RDEPENDS make no sense.
Maybe some day the class will do more than just wrap stuff in a
package, but at the moment i do not see that coming.
And even if that ever happened the class could take care of turning the
bitbake-list (R)DEPENDS into a Debian comma-seperated list.

I tried your code in a bash (not in Isar/bitbake etc.) and i got a few
more commas that i would have expected.

'libc, (>=, 2.16)', 'tar, |, bsdtar', systemd

Shell code is nasty, i think i do not even want to know why it worked
for you or wether it would work in Isar with my build env.

I think i still prefer just taking the string from the recipe, not
messing with it at all.
