What were you trying to do (and why)?

Normally I edit the vim formulae to not include ruby, lua, python support and add build flags that I prefer and brew install -s vim. In the formulae I remove depends_on commands and update the build flags and expect the vim to be build with the flags (and pretty sure it does not depend on anything extra and have been doing the same for many many years). Yet the brew install -s vim starts installing all the dependencies that I have removed from the formulae meaning that it no longer honouring brew edit updates. This used to work before as expected - brew would only install the dependencies listed as depends_on in the formulae and build from the source, but it stopped working recently.

  depends_on "gettext"
  depends_on "ncurses"

  conflicts_with "ex-vi",
    because: "vim and ex-vi both install bin/ex and bin/view"

  conflicts_with "macvim",
    because: "vim and macvim both install vi* binaries"

What happened (include all command output)?

$ brew install -s -n vim
==> Would install 1 formula:
vim
==> Would install 5 dependencies for vim:
lua berkeley-db perl libyaml ruby

What did you expect to happen?

I expected brew to NOT install the dependencies that are not in the formulae and build the vim from source. I did not run the install commands because I do not want the dependencies to be installed - clearly it misbehaves and ignores the updated formulae.

run brew install -s vim which is supposed to build vim from source - that is what has been happening until recently.
