In a perfect world, a package built from ports or in poudriere should be
the same.

If a port catches unexpected dependencies, or some conflicting header,
this is a (minor) bug, and it should be reported.

Unfortunately, we are not in a perfect world, these events occur, and it
can be hard to prevent them.
