Why should it matter? I didn't think portmaster stopped searching if a first
level dep does not need upgrading. The reason for not using all-depends-list
is that it duplicates efforts. F.e. all-depends-list on x11/xorg recurses down
to everything and then asking all-depends-list for x11/xorg-apps will have
been done already by x11/xorg, but make(1) will still recurse the list and you
can't filter it till you see it.
But when using {build|run}-depends-list, lang/php5 is seen from security/php5-
mcrypt, as such, portmaster should drill down to {build|run}-depends-list of
lang/php5 until ending at leaf nodes. In principle this will end up to be an
all-depends-list, but with faster performance.
