One I try to determine how this influences the ports collection... Do we have to include the prebinding information in a package or can we omit them (I assume: we can omit them but it would be beneficial)? If we have to include it: What happens if: A library on the build system contains symbol "foo", a program in package "bar" is linked against this lib, but doesn't references "foo". This package is now installed together with the prebinding information from the build system on a system where an older version of the library without the "foo" symbol is installed.
