Hello,

I have a patch that fixes this issue with namcap: 
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66430

To summarize, namcap script dependency checking fails whenever part of 
the script binary path is a symbolic link because no package provides 
that exact path. For example, resolving the python path as 
/usr/sbin/python when running as root. This patch canonicalizes the path 
first.

Subject: [PATCH] Use the canonical script path in shebangdepends

This fixes a bug where if the detected script path contains a directory
that is a symbolic link then the path will not appear in the file list
of any package, causing the package detection to falsely report the
script as an orphan.
