Consider this a proposal: Will we optionally have an alternate way to
mention separate pkg-plist files instead, or just use @package ...
@closepackage markers instead of PLIST-SUB markup?

I think that pkg-plist is already "decorated" beyond recognition for
some ports with possibly three %%PLIST_SUB_TAG%% on one line.
