If you are using a new build, the proper way to handle this would be to
bump RELEASE so that the distro package takes precedence; that way I
don't have to remove the package from Ports the very instant it lands in
the distro. The alternative would have been for me to copy over the
existing tarballs from Ports, which is "cleaner" because then they
really are the same package.
