Hm, it looks like there's no apropriate logic to get libdbi/dbi-drivers
to do what you want. In that case, maybe you could set additionally
RUN_DEPENDS. I think there'll still be a way by installing from
packages that will lead to missing dependencies, though.
Maybe if dbi-drivers were to use several slave-ports, we'd have a
solution...
I'm cc:ing the dbi (seanc@) and dbi-drivers (delphij@) guys for comments.
