 I have some problems understanding what exactly `replaced_by` does in
 `p5-eperl`: does it only replace `p5-eperl` with `p5.16-eperl`? Why does
 that port reimplement half of the perl PortGroup's functionality?

 My question still stands. OK, I'll leave those few ports out (it's easy to
 do), but should I keep `5.10 5.12 5.14` in the file? Is it OK to have the
 following replacement chain?
 {{{
 p5.10-test-tester -> [replaced_by] -> p5.10-test-simple -> [replaced_by]
 -> p5.16-test-simple
 }}}
