Comment (by ryandesign):
MacPorts does not distinguish between removing a port due to uninstalling
and removing it due to upgrading to a new version. To MacPorts, both are
"deactivating".
It's the same situation as a database server (MySQL, PostgreSQL); you
wouldn't want your databases or log files, which are stored in
${prefix}/var, to be wiped out for you when you upgrade or uninstall. Same
with configuration files stored in ${prefix}/etc; you wouldn't want them
reset to defaults when you upgrade or uninstall. These files, and any
others not included in a port's destroot, intentionally remain untouched
by MacPorts when you upgrade or uninstall ports.
