I suggested that before too, but then jmpp pointed out that we don't  
capture the information "what port is this ticket for?" anywhere in  
the ticket. We don't have a field for that. Many people put the  
affected port name somewhere in the ticket title, but many don't, and  
those that do don't always put it in a consistent place. I don't know  
if we can reliably just try to find any portname in the ticket title.  
Also, many reporters report problems against the port they're trying  
to install, rather than against the dependency which actually failed.
