That would break other ports that depend upon netpbm. Worse, I think port will
automatically re-activate it, if it comes to such a port.

So you wouldn't win anything.

Sadly, making netpbm conflict with itself at built time is the only way to make
sure it doesn't use its own headers/libraries when compiling.

Trace mode would fix that, but we currently have no way of activating or
deactivating trace mode on a per-ports basis.
