Yes, it should, but not yet. docbook-xml-scrollkeeper and docbook- 
xml-4.2 conflicted last week. docbook-xml-scrollkeeper is now an  
empty port that depends on docbook-xml-4.2. We need to wait before  
redoing scrollkeeper's depenedencies to ensure all users have ample  
time to have *4.2 installed. Simply changing scrollkeeper's  
dependencies would cause attempts to install docbook-xml-4.2 over  
docbook-xml-scrollkeeper instead of upgrading it out of the way.
