So if I get this correctly, subport provides several ports under different names from the same Portfile. But what exactly can be different in a subport? Could a subport provide a different version? I could imagine this to be used for *-devel ports as well. This probably also renders the 'current' pseudo-port unusable, except we change this to current:subportname or something similar. For the python example in this ticket, it should probably still be depends_lib-append in the subport sections.
