Uh, yes. Well the sample config file should be installed with a name  
ending in e.g. ".sample" and this should be done in the destroot phase  
and this file should be part of the destroot. But if you then want to  
copy that sample config file to a real config file for the user to  
modify, that should be done outside the destroot and outside the  
destroot phase, after the port has been activated.
