A recent commit (be67c1c353ca) broke Portsnap's INDEX generation; somehow
the portsnap build thinks that audio/kwave depends on "ImageMagick6@"
rather than "ImageMagick6".  As a result, the builder is continuing to
distribute the "last known good" DESCRIBE output -- which as you note is
becoming out of date.

My guess is that this is due to the Portsnap builder using an out-of-date
environment for running `make describe`; the ports commit in question
probably relies on something which changed in make(1) in the past decade.
I'm going to try to track this down as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks Kyle!  I am indeed not subscribed.
