+                    A list of recipe dependencies that should not be used to 
+                    determine signatures of tasks from one recipe when they
+                    depend on tasks from another recipe. 
+                    For example:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+    SIGGEN_EXCLUDE_SAFE_RECIPE_DEPS += "intone->mplayer2"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    In this example, <filename>intone</filename> depends on 
+                    <filename>mplayer2</filename>.
+                </para>
+
+                <para>
+                    Use of this variable is one mechanism to remove dependencies 
+                    that affect task signatures and thus force rebuilds when a 
+                    recipe changes. 
+                    <caution>
+                        If you add an inappropriate dependency for a recipe
+                        relationship, the build might break when the interface
+                        of the second recipe changes after the first recipe has 
+                        been built.
+                    </caution>
