Comment (by neverpanic):

 While MacPorts does have the capability to autostart launchd agents and
 daemons, very very few ports use this, and I would prefer if we kept it
 this way. So far, it seems net/wireshark_chmodbpf uses it (because without
 it, the port doesn't make sense), security/certsync uses it (again, the
 port doesn't make sense without it), sysutils/mpstats uses it (same
 reason, the user wouldn't have it installed if they didn't want the
 autostart), www/edbrowse uses it (but not to actually start the service,
 just to create a directory, it seems), and science/SDRplay3 uses it (I
 disagree with its use, it shouldn't auto-start, but it's not a commonly
 installed port, so I don't care).

 You are now adding an autostarted item to a port that's commonly installed
 as a dependency. I really really don't want a random service to run just
 because something depends on shared-mime-info. Please revert the
 autostart.
