Yeah, and I meant that sticking to that policy will cause bloat and headaches:
dependency 'openssl' has license 'OpenSSL' which conflicts with license 'gpl'

I don't think that the "drawbacks of this policy are minimal", but if you want
to avoid /usr and /usr/local at all costs the port in question is now fixed...

depends_lib	path:lib/python2.5/site-packages/rpm/__init__.py:rpm port:python25

You still have to make decision about the rpm support one day, but maybe later ?
