We could imagine tagging the plist/manifest so pkg can allow a user to inst= all only the things tagged as runtime for exemple which would do the job. for w= hat Julian is asking for beside adding lots of complexity pkg(8) and adding a nightmare in the solver. That would "please" the people that want "hey keep the giant flat package a= s it is better for dev given I don't have to install the -devel version somethin= g" and the people wanting fine grain selection if they need to. But on the ports side that would be a nightmare having to tag all the plist= (and this cannot be automated because there are to many corner cases. Having the port that grows the feature would be really nice because no work would be needed on pkg :) and that would reduce cluster package building as= we could merge qt, php etc into one port that builds multiple sub packages.
