 > Exactly my point. There is thus already a potential discrepancy between
 the dependencies for a to-be-installed port as provided by the portindex
 and as actually required.

 The contents of the portindex are used for informational and search-
 operator purposes only, where this is a valid tradeoff between speed and
 correctness. So far, in all of our ports, the dependency info in the
 portindex was correct for default variants. Your code changes that.

 Closing wontfix then.
