What could be interesting here is to improve upt to make sure we never
witness these issues ever again:)

The upt frontend is usually able to gather the license. You need to
write down something that makes sense for Macports, though. This should
be done in the backend.

Upt gives you three kinds of dependencies: build, runtime and test. This
should be done in the backend.

This could probably be added to the backend as well!

Same here, this should be fixed in the templates.
