Merge #16691: doc: improve depends prefix documentation
2483266c591f7b2e62df68ee2d13740a706415ec packages.md: document depends build targets (Russell Yanofsky) be27161ee4bb7cb63346f1e79fc36ce33103a635 Clarify need to specify --prefix with depends (Russell Yanofsky) Pull request description: There seems to be some confusion about exactly how to use depends, when to pass a prefix to `./configure` etc (see #16367, #16654). I've cherry-picked two of russ's commits out of #16367, as they are clear stand-alone improvements and we don't have to wait for #16367 to improve the depends documentation.

`libseconday`, when we need to link `libprimary` into our executable, there's no
dependency chain to worry about as `libprimary` has all the symbols.
