I'm not convinced this is necessary to do preemptively. For example,
- emulators/dolphin-emu doesn't ship keys thus built on the package cluster
- multimedia/libdvdcss generates keys thus restricted via LICENSE=DMCA

Many distros (with binary packages) still ship yuzu. Those that did
remove it appear to be in the same self-sabotaging camp (i.e., backed by
a for-profit). For example, openSUSE Tumbleweed removed yuzu but kept
hactool which is more focused on decryption - facepalm.
