It doesn't work fine when you use fetch -A, which ports does for the
fetch target.

I had to do the same thing (manually dereference to the
launchpadlibrarian.net URL) for the bazaar-ng and bzrtools ports.
It's a ugly PITA.  I wish ports just followed the redirects; we have
SIZE and 2 checksums to tell us if it points to something we don't
want.  But who wants to start THAT flamefest?
