Comment(by vinc17@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 nox@…]:
 > As said in the warning, you don't need to use any variant with clean,
 see my comment on the other ticket.

 The -f option should '''never''' be necessary. This is just a workaround,
 and things should work without it.

 BTW, why not removing the whole subdir unconditionally by default? Files
 from other ports could be removed too, but with the current behavior, this
 can already happen (e.g. if two ports share a same file), and files can be
 refetched anyway.
