You missed the point: this used to work, and just because pkglint never 
knew about it doesn't make it invalid

Obvious workarounds are in the pkgsrc guide, but people who'd expect this 
to work will have bad surprises.

This should be warned about form pkgsrc, and not rely on pkglint coughing 
up an error (e.g.):

  *** Third argument for DEPENDS is deprecated please use pre-configure and post-clean targets
