ACTUAL-PACKAGE-DEPENDS from bsD.port.mk isn't used, the one from bsd.pkgng.mk is
used instead which is different. yes EXPLICIT_PACKAGE_DEPENDS is not working
with pkgng for 2 reasons:
- it was unsafe for binary packages (breaking the 1.0 "solver" sometime) in 1.1
  it is safe now but see next point
- it is and will be the default behaviour the pkg 1.1.5 which also include the
  code to automatically add dependency on all libraries it is being linked on.
  meaning the port framework will only have to add the direct run deps and
  nothing more.
