I bet there won't be any objecttions here :) Please implement what you said that

That is the more problematic thing, pkg add and the ports tree package building
rely on the old form aka full direct dependency

So what I do propose here is:

to provide the 2 kind of dependency old and new format. in the manifest.
Let's say:

Depends:
  { name: ..., formulae: ... }
Deps:
  {....}

for the shared library we already have the needed
We also need
requires:
provides:

In the long temps Deps will just be dropped but we need to be able in the ports
tree to match properly the depends and the shared libraries, I don't know yet
how to do that, but I'll dig :)

Would be nice if you solver could take in account local files (aka being used
for pkg add) :)
