Well, do you know in what places we depend on that behaviour?

I'm far from it, but a few things I remember:
 - pkg size calculation (for pkg_info -sS) depends on it
 - pkg_add has a quick check if all depends are non-conflicting,
   withouth possibly downloading things unnecessarily first

I'm sure there are more places that will break.
