The document suggests that users should put keys in /usr/local/share/macports. While this probably won't cause any problems, it directly conflicts with the mantra we have to repeat several times daily in tickets: that users should never have anything in /usr/local or risk experiencing confusing errors. Please pick a different suggested location for the keys that is not within /usr/local.
