Dynamically generated archives breaks (we've seen it multiple times), is 
discouraged and on top of that you add quite a bit more build 
dependencies for no benefit (in terms of packaging). It makes more sense 
to have a working build rather than Portscout being "broken", fwiw it 
already fails on a ton of ports (reports available) and is 
~unmaintained. Long term we should probably look into migrating to 
another tool such as nvchecker but that's another topic.

Best regards,
Daniel
