Comment (by kencu):

 Replying to [comment:5 RJVB]:
 > FWIW, I prefer to keep depspec lists as short as possible with my own
 ports. If I depend on port:A which depends on port:B (and port:C) then I
 prefer to let port:A take care of getting its dependencies on B and C
 right.

 Although it's tempting to have a huge tree of deps in the top port
 sometimes, it is senseless as you can't possibly keep with the changing
 landscape below you. So I completely agree with you.
