<para>Do not use <makevar>DEPENDS</makevar> unless there is no other
way the behavior you want can be accomplished. It will cause the
other port to always be built (and installed, by default), and the
dependency will go into the packages as well. If this is really
what you need, you should probably write it as
<literal>BUILD_DEPENDS</literal> and
<literal>RUN_DEPENDS</literal> instead&mdash;at least the
intention will be clear.</para>
