Comment:

 `prefix.mtree` is not a place where user options should be set, the
 MacPorts developers are in control of that file and should have all the
 liberty they need to tweak and update it however necessary. If there are
 options you wish to make user configurable and respected by
 reinstallations, then please open tickets for them to be included in the
 `macports.conf` file, which is indeed not overwritten when upgrading and
 where all these things should go.
