 Using `port -s install ..` did the job.  This behaviour needs proper
 documentation or should work independent of -s | -b.

 ----
 '''Side issue:''' Having disable startup symlinking in /Library/Launch*
 renders `port load|unload` unusable:
 {{{
 $ sudo port -s install mysql56-server
 $ find -L /Library/Launch* ~/Library/Launch* -type f | fgrep -i mysql
 # ok, no symlink created!
 # Am I still able to start my server in background for the purpose of
 testing???
 $ sudo port load mysql56-server
 Error: org.macports.load for port mysql56-server returned: Launchd plist
 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql56-server.plist was not found
 }}}
