The way this branch will work is that the distinction between archives and
what's installed will be gone.  In the case of -b, that option won't make
sense anymore since "installed" is having the image file (archive as called
now) available, so you just have to activate the right one.  For -s, it's
like now if you disable archive mode, just uninstall the port to build from
source.
