Maybe it should?  I was obviously stumbling over this problem when
_updating_ my system and since the base system already has
(hopefully) working ssh, I'd probably never notice USA_RESIDENT was set to
no since I wouldnt have to compile ssh from ports...
Besides, it _was_ a hoop I had to jump through.  In my mind UPDATING shows
the oddball things a person has to do out of the ordinary when going
from xx-release or date-xxx to present to upgrade your system without
blowing toes off in any manner and causing extra posts to mailing lists
asking whats going on??? like this one :)
