 This document] explains a rationale about using only official Bitcoin
 images in order to provide a coherent set of clients.

 Due the delicate nature of bitcoin software, potentially affecting users'
 money in a direct way, this should be taken in consideration.

 Two scenarios that come to mind about how to approach this are:
 * disable the port at all and print out a message redirecting the users to
 official binary packages;
 * fetch the binary and signed official package and create the MacPorts
 package from that.

 The latter solution keeps the advantage of using a package manager
 (install, uninstall, upgrade) while giving away the actual build part.

 Please provide your thoughts.
