The old no longer existent options stored in the options files are harmless and simply unused by the ports Makefile. The options files are not intended to be user editable / viewable. The old options will be removed when some changes will be saved. And I am not sure that this is a problem of poudriere. I think it's rather issue in ports options framework. Isn't it?
