When portmanager was changed to work this way it seemed sensible. I've
become a bit sceptical about it since I saw a post in this list that
went something like: X always depends on A, B and C, so don't bother
having your port depend on these if it depends on X. I wonder how many
direct dependencies are omitted in this way.
