Why don't we block the installation of ports that have replaced_by set?
http://trac.macports.org/changeset/57005
I just wrote our first replaced_by and it shows up in port outdated if
it's revision 1 you have installed and run upgrade, but you can
install this revision 2 and then it never shows up as outdated and
won't get replaced.
How about the following ideas:
* anytime replaced_by is found, it's epoch_override is turned on
* if installing a port that has replaced_by, fail (or just switch it
out for the replacement)
