I do not quite understand why a BIND upgrade needs to touch soo much.

Hi,

I'm trying get going in the new flow of pkg and poudriere.

So I'm building my packages with poudriere and using pkg (1.4.0)
to upgrade bind. With the sort of shocking result:

The operation will free 112 MB.
23 MB to be downloaded.
======================

I can "respect" the fact that some things need to be upgraded as a
side-effect, eg. ue to lib upgrades.

But why reinstall subversion which for me as user is an edge package
(nothing depends on it), and not reinstall rrdtools, which has other
dependancies (cacti).

So just going 'yes' by default leaves me with broken packages.
Or having to capture the list of removed packages and start adding that
by hand. Which in the end sort of boils down into doing full-fledged
'pkg upgrade', and giving me all new packages, with lots of
possibilities of broken services due to the upgrades. Requiring me to
checkout all services and stuff that I have on this server.

As an alternative
	portupgrade bind99
does the job with minimal invasive surgery.
But then I'm back to maintaining every package on every server just by
itself.
