Every time gnome desktop is upgraded via portupgrade it reinstalls a bunch of applications that I had previously removed using pkg_delete.

For example, since I only use firefox as my browser there's no need to also have epiphany nor galeon. However, by default they are always reinstalled. 

I've tried using the HOLD_PKGS array in pkgtools.conf to prevent this, but to no avail.

What to do?
