As an src committer you're actually required to have your changes reviewed
by active ports committer.  PHB does/may not cover all possible use cases,
correct practices, and it often lags behind actual `Mk/*' development.

(I've made a similar point back in May in reply to r415002, where you did
violate the PHB; that reply went unanswered, and the bug is still there.)

It usually does not matter when building a port locally, but most automated
builders would prune the dependencies between stages.  This helps to make
sure that dependencies are correctly specified (according to their need) as
intended, and allows for more granular control of things on per-stage basis.
