The wording is "The flag must be enabled if the flag is enabled for the |
17 |
package with the dependency, or disabled otherwise.". |

The question then is whether that applies only to *DEPEND, or whether |
20 |
it's to anywhere where there's a "package with the dependency". Given |
21 |
that the section that specifies it isn't limited to *DEPEND, but |
22 |
describes dependency specifications in general, I'd say that PMS |
23 |
requires it to be supported. |

|
25 |
Having said that, it's pretty horrible, and unless there's a good use |
26 |
case for such a feature, I'd not be opposed to shoving in a retroactive |
27 |
ban on it... |
