Strange pkg_deinstall behaviour with pkgng

Hello.
I was forced to switch to pkgng on a 9.2 box and I'm now noticing a
strange behaviour.
Before, "pkg_deinstall -R foo" would deinstall foo and all ports on
which foo depended, except those who were needed by other ports.
Now, "pkg_deinstall -R foo" will deinstall foo, all ports on which foo
depends and all ports depending on the ports on which foo depends.
E.g.
Port A depends on B
Port B depends on C
Port D depends on C
With the old behaviour, "pkg_deinstall -R A" would deinstall A and B
(but not C).
Now it will deinstall A, B, C and D.
Is this normal or expected?
How can I restore the old behaviour?
Thanks
av.
