Comment (by kencu):

 Indeed, this certainly could be considered a 'feature'.

 I think the reason this came up like this was `port outdated` kept showing
 one shadowed port as being outdated, but `sudo port -v upgrade outdated`
 never updated anything. Took me a bit to figure out what was happening.

 As per [ticket:21725], showing the repo for dups would make it clear,
 although it's obviously a very low priority deal.

 I'm fine with closing this ticket.
