>Description:
finance/gnucash is a program for private and small to medium business accounting

The config-flag "DATABASE" is said to "Enable SQL database backends". The pkg-message informs after installation that to actually use DBs, manually installing databses/libdbi-drivers is required.

This is non-optimal. Typically, users associate "enable" with "actually usable", not, as in this case, "theoretically usable if you manually do this and that".
>How-To-Repeat:
Install finance/gnucash and read pkg-message. Alternatively, just cat it.
>Fix:
add databases/libdbi-drivers as RUN_DEPENDS

-If you have enabled the DATABASE option and want to use any of the supported
-database backends, you also need to install:
-
-databases/libdbi-drivers
-
-And select the database type(s) you want to use.
+If you have enabled the DATABASE option, databases/libdbi-drivers is
+pulled in as a dependency. Database types should be en- or disabled in
+databases/libdbi-drivers's options.
 
 MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3 are supported in GnuCash.
