maybe more confusing to portupgrade -- one day I'll get tired of
running 'pkgdb -F' almose every time before portupgrade to fix old
dependencies (packages with old config or things like ru-xmms instead of
xmms). This is portupgrade's problem really, but doing away from such
"flexibility" would make life slightly easier...
