I'm not sure how you got that impression.  "This includes the cygwin package
itself" would be applied to "If your package is dependent on a file".  So, if
your package is not dependent on anything in the cygwin package there is
not reason to include the cygwin package.

If the intent was to say "Always include the cygwin package" then it would
have been a lot clearer to say that.

I'd clarify this if I understood why this is confusing.
