Is this software supposed to have the original cowsay files (those
provided by cowsay port) installed at the runtime?

If yes, then you should add cowsay to RUN_DEPENDS and then you could
remove handling of share/cows directory from plist completely, because
cowsay port (dependency) would handle it.

It's the classic Microsoft security-bulletin formula: "The vulnerability is
important (never dangerous); you have nothing to fear and no reason to regret
trusting us; we have no intention of apologizing for it or even explaining it
adequately; now go get your patch, shut up, and be grateful nothing bad has
happened.
