Great, so in this case it would be more appropriate to remove the flavour and split into subpackages, see attached tgz.

Yes, the possible issue I am trying to head off is that if they cause differences in the build of dependending ports, we need to control which flavour is installed when other ports are built. Experience has taught that user-controllable build options in ports which provide libraries can be a real pain to deal with.
