portupgrade: should it recursively follow dependencies?

[James Long]

I've rebuilt my pkgdb:

ns : 18:42:37 /root# pkgdb -fu
--->  Updating the pkgdb
[Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 219 packages found (-0 +219) ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................... done]

And I happen to know that devel/p5-Test-Exception is out of date.
This port is a dependency of a dependency of www/rt (3.4.5).

portupgrade sees that rt depends on p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize:

ns : 18:43:20 /root# portupgrade -nR rt 2>&1 | grep "p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize"
** No need to upgrade 'p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize-1.08' (>= p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize-1.08). (specify -f to force)
        - devel/p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize (p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize-1.08)

But it does not see that p5-Test-Exception is (by recursion) also
a dependency:

ns : 18:44:31 /root# portupgrade -nR rt 2>&1 | grep "p5-Test-Exception"

If I portupgrade p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize, then p5-Test-Exception is
seen as in need of an upgrade:

ns : 18:45:32 /root# portupgrade -nR p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize 2>&1 | grep "p5-Test-Exception"
--->  Upgrade of devel/p5-Test-Exception started at: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 18:46:11 -0800
--->  Upgrading 'p5-Test-Exception-0.21_1' to 'p5-Test-Exception-0.22' (devel/p5-Test-Exception)
--->  Upgrade of devel/p5-Test-Exception ended at: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 18:46:11 -0800 (consumed 00:00:00)
        + devel/p5-Test-Exception (p5-Test-Exception-0.21_1)

Is this a problem or do I need adjust my expectations?  :)

Portupgrade itself is portupgrade-2.1.3.3_1,2
