The reason was to make the package as light as possible and allow users ins=
tall
additional packages they need. That why KDE ports had all optional runtime =
deps
disabled by default. There is another problem with this particular case: now
ark depends on binary port with non-free license (archivers/rar) and on
archivers/unrar (also with restrictive license), which I find less usefull
than unrar-iconv.

Perhaps pkg-message with advice would be sufficient?
