    33> The Inkscape port is wrong. Its build would fail if gtkmm had been previously installed with incompatible variants.
    4 This is now making me think that maybe it's not that another metadata keyword will solve the problem  as I see it, but rather that there should be a mechanism for showing in {{{port info NAME}}} not just the port's own variants, but also the variants that its dependencies have.  Sort of like an rdeps but for variants.
