devel/libffi321 even though nothing depends on it.

If I proceed with it, and run "pkg info -r libffi321" I get the following:

> [/u/h/vendion]─> doas pkg info -r libffi321
> libffi321-3.2.1_1:

What is even more confusing is that immanently afterwards "pkg autoremove"
wants to remove devel/libffi321
