e.g. QT4EDEPENDS QT4DEPENDS both end with space, so it's not causing any
problem, but having the trailing space together with prepend is good.

Only exception I can think of is when you really don't want to introduce
extra space when the variable used in prepend/append is set to empty,
but that's not an issue for DEPENDS (but important e.x. for tune .inc files)

I don't think so, the order of DEPENDS is irrelevant.

This e-mail belongs more into oe-core ML.
