Comment(by blb@…):

 Replying to [ticket:18359 ryandesign@…]:
 > I do not know why the Guide says this because it is the opposite of what
 I recommend. It should say something more like:

 I believe the reason is that at one point, doing a post-<phase> in a
 variant would actually override the top-level version of post-<phase>.
 Once MacPorts was updated so that it chained these instead of overriding,
 then your suggestion became the better method.
