Well, this is misleading. Non-calendar timers should not and according
to your patch will not get the dependency, this should be
clarified. Adding in brackets a "(only if at least one calendar time
specification is declared)" should suffice.

To be fully correct we should iterate through the list, and do this when
at least one entry if base TIMER_CALENDAR is found. 

Otherwise looks good.

Tanks!
