One point worth mentioning is that the options to the nextcloud port change
what dependencies are pulled in -- they don't change how nextcloud is
built.

If you really really don't want the PHP pdo_mysql module installed then
the defaults matter. Most of the time it just doesn't matter. I have
php84-pcntl, php84-pecl-imagick, and php84-pdo_pgsql installed, it seems
I don't need the php84-pgsql module, and php84-mysql is installed but doing
nothing. And I've never changed any of the nextcloud port's options. It's
fine.
