How will this benefit us?

Reduce amount of processed text. If you read the log I posted there are a
large number of what I refer to as 'excess characters'. These are the
duplicate characters in both BUILD_DEPENDS and RUN_DEPENDS.

IMHO the change in file format (and resulting POLA problems) outweighs
the benefits of the faster scan.  I'd rather see us audit the ports and
try to eliminate unneeded entries in each.

     I agree in most cases, but what if the view of the initial problem is not 
correct or the conditions have evolved?
