Ah, OK, so if I simply want to prevent building what can be called
"official" package (which will be put on ftp.freebsd.org and mirrors), I
should check for PACKAGE_BUILDING and set IGNORE (or maybe NO_PACKAGE is
better?).  If there is some inherent problem with building a package
(not just to reduce payload on our DVDs), like legal issues with the
software, I just use NO_PACKAGE.  Am I getting this right?
