Hmm. I'm wondering if we really want this dependency. I mean, the
port has loads of dependencies as it is, and I'd hate to put even more
unconditional dependencies into it. Also, the result of not having
this dependency becomes very clear (I think) to the user if he indeed
comes into the situation where he needs it. So, the question is: what
are the policies usually taken here? Do we also include dependencies
for for the really obscure cases?
