Hi,

I've just been noticing what looks like inconsistent behaviour registering 
symlinks installed by ports:

{{{
> ll /opt/local/libexec/qt5/doc
60192800 4 lrwxr-xr-x 1 bertin admin 24 Nov 15 00:04 /opt/local/libexec/qt5/doc 
-> /opt/local/share/doc/qt5/

> port provides /opt/local/libexec/qt5/doc
/opt/local/libexec/qt5/doc is provided by: qt5-kde-devel

> ll /opt/local/include/qt5/QtCore /opt/local/include/qt5/QtCore/private
60199227 4 lrwxr-xr-x 1 bertin admin 66 Nov 15 00:04 
/opt/local/include/qt5/QtCore -> 
/opt/local/libexec/qt5/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers/
60191081 4 lrwxr-xr-x 1 bertin admin 87 Nov 15 00:04 
/opt/local/include/qt5/QtCore/private -> 
/opt/local/libexec/qt5/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers/5.6.2/QtCore/private/

> port provides port provides /opt/local/include/qt5/QtCore{,/private}
/opt/local/include/qt5/QtCore is provided by: qt5-kde-devel
/opt/local/libexec/qt5/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/Headers/private
 is not provided by a MacPorts port.
}}}

Why is the "private" symlink 
(/opt/local/libexec/qt5/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers/private) 
not registered? That's causing me some heartaches during port upgrades because 
it this symlink isn't removed when the port is deactivated.

Thanks,
R.
