>Description:
Some maintainers have been including ${BUILD_DEPENDS} to their RUN_DEPENDS sections of their port's Makefile. This has the consequence of forcing these packages to appear to require build only depends such as gmake and libtool.

Also, as a footnote, there is a false positive for direct use of "python" for USE_GSTREAMER. This is, in fact, correct syntax.
>How-To-Repeat:
Here is a list of ports currently affected by the problem:

Attempt to install some of these via pkg_add and note build tools being pulled in.
>Fix:
A condition should be added to forbid RUN_DEPENDS=${BUILD_DEPENDS} variations from passing portlint(1).
