(unless there's a reason not to). But I'd actually be inclined to write
the dependency as `lib:dbus:dbus` since it's presumably the library that
these ports are depending on.
bin: and lib: are dangerous, since they satisfy any executable or library
found in the path.
If you have multiple MacPorts setups on a system it is essential that the
correct prefix is being used.
So, the only workable way is to use path here!
I am inclined to update the Guide accordingly.
(This was the outcome of a thread on the dev mailing list a while ago.)
