I just received an email about that for ImageMagick, but I count 15 such ports. We can't have ports depending on ports that have been replaced_by another port.
Odd things happen now.
If you don't have liblzma or xz installed and you try to install
ImageMagick, then it'll install liblzma (guessing for ImageMagick's
dependency), then deactivate it and install xz (guessing for
ImageMagick's use_xz), and then link against xz's libraries instead of
liblzma's.
Could use_xz be updated to be satisfied by liblzma?
