After cleaning downstream ports and using portupgrade -f -O removes the 
dependency from that port, downstream is still affected though, so full 
downstream rebuild is needed in order to completely remove the dependency.

And I'm not a dev, so having a utility that is only needed in certain 
linking scenarios isn't that useful for me as a dependency.
