So, while the dependency being generated is bogus, I'm not quite sure why
its having the effect that you mention. The port is trying to figure out
which bootstrap it should use out of a list of candidates and, when it has
figured this out, create a "dependency" on it. The dependency is (often)
bogus, but that shouldn't actually have the effect your seeing as I
understand it. In the case where the bootstrap already exists, the
dependency shouldn't be installed as I understand it since the check for
that path will succeed, unless portmaster and portmanager decide to do
their own proactive installation of dependencies based on the port? In
the case where the bootstrap doesn't exist then the dependency will be
the correct default bootstrap and should be installed.
