Re: Installed audio/alsa-plugins and dependencies

> Port dependencies are not package dependencies

It's literally defined as LIB_DEPENDS in the makefile.
By definition LIB_DEPENDS are run time dependencies.

It's not about what people want.
These subpackages are included via OPTIONS.
In the case that the OPTIONS are set, the alsa-plugins package needs
to pull in the subpackages included by the options.
Honestly, I don't see any other interpretation.

The package manifest is wrong.

If they are not intended to be package dependency, then the
subpackages should be defined as BUILD_DEPENDS, not LIB_DEPENDS.  But
the manifest bug remains regardless of the intend of this particular
port.
