There is no point to provide it to mergemaster or for it to use it
internally.  The recommended way to use this feature is to add it to
/etc/src-env.conf and forget about it or specify it for
buildworld/buildkernel/universe (build) targets.  There is also no harm
in always defining it.  That is the goal at least.
