That would be a worse position if i happened to have a slightly
older version of a dependency port (but new version exists in the
ports tree) which would work just fine for the port needing that
particular dependency port.  pkg_add already suffers due to a
similar problem; i would like the ports not being infected too.

There should be some mechanism to disable cleaning.
