My complaint  is not,  that the  package building  scheme is  broken (it
seems to  be, but I  personally don't care). It  is about the  number of
"sattelite" ports, whose ONLY reason  for existence is automatic package
building.

Such  ports   are  inconsistent  and   confusing  (where  are   all  the
incarnations of php and ghostscript,  for example? Or the separate ports
for each of the kde2 i18n parts?) and should be removed, IMO.
