Saying no to an optional_depends only totally disables that dependency
if the software provides a way to do it. We try to support that with all
software that does provide such a way, but many just realy on
autodetection without options to switch stuff off. So saying no to using
an optional_depends that is already installed is not always working, not
much we can do about that without much more effort spent on spells.
