I've seen the quote, but I don't see anything wrong with using PORTVERSION
(like we traditionally did) when it is "simple" (that is, identical to the
DISTVERSION).  It might look "cleaner" in mat@'s eyes to always use (set)
DISTVERSION since it is, in fact, closely tied to the *distfile* version,
but enforcing this just based on that is a bit too much.  Personally I'd
prefer that PHB text laxed (and keep using PORTVERSION when it suffices).
