 * Sounds good to me.

Actually, I found a problem -- we need to get this port automatically
deinstalled when the last emacs/apache/whatever is deinstalled,
otherwise we'll have the virtapache port without any real apaches.
But I'm sure I can find a simple way around it.

Yes, that's usually the case. :<

I added an "affected ports" field (the "Aff." column) in the errorlogs
page to show how many ports a particular breakages affects (it only
greps the index, so it won't show chain of build depends though) but I
also need to find a way so people can query what package built and the
reason why if it didn't build (and is not broken itself).
