Yes, I am not sure that it is a runtime dependency but I don't know the
package well enough to be sure.  Here is the output of the build.

So it fails the configure step.  The failure implies that the package
requires the module.

I haven't made committed the change yet.  I will wait for further
discussion.

By the way, would this kind of change require a PKGREVISION bump?
