texcount requires both texlive-bin and texlive-bin-extra

Description

I needed to use the command-line-tool "texcount" recently and discovered it as a symlink in the port texlive-bin. However it was a broken symlink! It turns out, the target of the symlink is in texlive-bin-extra, which I now have installed:

$ ls -l /opt/local/bin/texcount 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  64 Jul 29 13:16 /opt/local/bin/texcount -> /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
$ ls -l /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  admin  43616 May  8  2009 /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
$ port provides /opt/local/bin/texcount 
/opt/local/bin/texcount is provided by: texlive-bin
$ port provides /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl is provided by: texlive-bin-extra

It is not clear to me how these ports are assembled, but it seems that the symlink should belong in texlive-bin-extra, where its target exists, and not in texlive-bin. I wonder if there are other instances like this in the texlive-bin port.
