Shouldn't REPLACES be used in such cases (or perhaps FRESHEN?), thus
avoiding a need for full-sync? Does that even work? Full-sync seems

in a mess.
They could help the dependency solver, yes. I'm not sure any recipe in
haikuports makes use of them, and I don't know if it is even possible.
I think some 3rd-party packages have experimented with it, however, so
we could try to gather feedback from one of the 3rd party repo
gatekeepers?
