Well, I guess that opens up a discussion then.  I don't use many "p5"
ports, but I certainly do use SpamAssassin daily.  So I hadn't noticed
that they go against the Porters Handbook and 'portlint'.  It is
important to keep things all in the proper section so a user like me can
know what dependencies there are.  Often I install dependencies from a
precompiled package before I add local patches to the "leaf" port that I
ultimately want installed.
