No, I don't think so, because _PATCH_DEPENDENCIES contain package names,
not or internal make targets. And I can prove it:

    $ make linux-show-depends
    fbtft host-kmod host-lzop toolchain

where fbtft is a kernel extension.

Have you even tried it?  ;-p

Well, I don;t mind getting rid of the separate show-{build,patch}-depends
rules. But your proposal is wrong, since we do not have to get rid of
the trailing -patch, because it's not in there...
