 https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.html states, that
 "startupitem_install" should be placed into
 $MP_PREFIX/etc/macports/sources.conf if no start-up items are to be placed
 into  /Library/*.

 Is that really correct? After having done so, I'm getting:


 {{{
 $ port version
 Warning: /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf specifies invalid source
 'startupitem_install no', ignored.
 Version: 2.3.1
 }}}


 I assume that $MP_PREFIX/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf must be the
 proper location.

 '''Side issue:'''
 However, why the need for an extra property? Aren't those two property
 settings equivalent?


 {{{
 startupitem_type       none
 startupitem_install    no
 }}}


 But then: what does none really mean?  The documentation is rather poor on
 this. Of course I do want to have the startup-items generated somewhere
 below $MP_PREFIX/opt/local. I just don't want that they are activated by
 default.
