Well, portlint will complain if you do things badly, but it won't complain
when you do just that.
perl ports have been done this way for ages, I mean, the normal
dependencies at the right place, and the dependencies depending on perl
version at the end. I was told it was the right way to do it when I began
updating ports, so I though it was the right way.
