How do you know that the user does not want that port installed?
And what if the user will install 20 other ports afterwards - all of which
is that same port as a BUILD_DEPENDS - should that port be
installed/deinstalled each and every time?

(Personally I would be *very* annoyed if, for example, libtool or
automake/autoconf would be reinstalled every time I installed a port which
had one of them as a build-time dependency.  There are *lots* of ports which
have one of them in BUILD_DEPENDS, but few if any that has them as
RUN_DEPENDS.)
