Redundant openssh patches

[Russell Jones]

Hello all,

I'm working on a openssh local port to add some custom changes, and I 
wanted to add them as a patch. Thus I wanted to check for clashes with 
the patches that come with the port, but none seem to be applied: port 
-d patch openssh gives no output. Is this how things should be, or have 
I broken something? Why are the old patches retained in that case? So 
people can build old versions?

My custom Portfile has a different name, and sets distfiles and 
worksrcdir to get openssh-5.5p1.tar.gz. It's otherwise unchanged. I 
uninstalled it before trying to determine what patches were applied. I 
noticed that the file list in the macports build directory and a 
directly extracted tarball were identical, apart from some generated 
files, e.g. .o files.
