>> Is this perhaps a good candidate for a notes command that explains this in more detail?  I can then see how it would be valuable to have `port info` also show the notes on that command.  But at the same time, I can see that it would also be fine to put it in the long description as well.  Technically, the description for the port pureftpd is not correct, as it is not installing anything at all.  Maybe the description should just say "This port has been replaced by port pure-ftpd",

Ahh, had no idea they were to be deleted at some point in time.  In that case, yes, I agree, not at all interesting or really worth any time on the matter.  Thanks.
