 If a port is replaced_by another, then it gets deactivated when its
 replacement is activated. But this only happens if the two ports conflict
 on some file. Ports that don't install the same files but otherwise
 shouldn't be installed together don't get deactivated.

 Not sure whether this is a bug or intentional, but it certainly took me by
 surprise until I read through registry2.0/portimage.tcl. So it should at
 least be documented.
