It's a good idea, but we're back at the second question -
what if someone fancies to pkg_delete -xf gnomehier?
There will be no way to get a clean system after that
other than by reinstalling gnomehier and deleting it after
all the ports requiring it.

And in case we ignore it and say that one should not
deinstall a foo-dep before foo, then the whole point of
the latest locale-related pkg-plist fixes is lost.
