No ... this is not an automatic "you surely wanted this" change.  It is
a fundamental change in semantics.  Probably 95% of users will find it
an improvement, but that's not enough to justify having tools that
automatically screw the other 5%.

(Also, I thought we'd determined that adddepend is unmaintained and
likely broken...)
