I would rather see PYTHON_DISTFILE removed from bsd.python.mk and
being moved back
to the individual ports instead. Or, to stay compatible for whatever
reason, change
it to PYTHON_DISTFILE?= ..., so ports can override it.
Or, even better in making things complicated, change it to
PYTHON_DISTFILE = ${PYTHON_IMPLTYPE}_${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
;-)
