depends_run should ignore +/- universal?!

Hi,

I'm reworking my freetype and fontconfig infinality variants. The freetype +infinality variant will have a runtime dependency freetype-infinality, a (sub)port that serves mostly to introduce the versioning information for the Infinality patches, but also installs a few text files. It is thus pointless to distinguish between universal and non-universal for that subport, because of its nature and because of the kind of dependency. It thus has "universal_variant no" in the subport definition block, but I left the muniversal PortGroup definition at the global level.
Yet, when I try to build freetype +infinality+universal, port insists on installing freetype-infinality +universal.

WHen I hide the muniversal PortGroup declaration from the freetype-infinality subport, I get the error

Error: Cannot install freetype for the arch(s) 'i386 x86_64' because
Error: its dependency freetype-infinality does not build for the required arch(s) by default
Error: and does not have a universal variant.
Error: Unable to execute port: architecture mismatch

Why is this?

R.
