File Doesn't Appear in Release tarball, but is in GitHub master

A separate and likely insignificant issue with the same port. Nevertheless:

Why don’t the buildbots automatically build the `*-proxy`and its dependent subports?

Everything works locally, but half the Portfile isn’t being tested by the buildbots, including the main port ${name}:

> Port macos-fortress-dshield success on xcode10.3. Log
> Port macos-fortress-emergingthreats success on xcode10.3. Log
> Port macos-fortress-pf success on xcode10.3. Log
