The origin is used by tools to identify the location in the ports tree that
allows to build a package. With FLAVOR support, knowing the directory is
insufficient to build a package - for that reason the @FLAVOR notation has
been used in a few places already, e.g. in the MOVED file and for dependency
declarations.

The directory is /usr/ports/${origin%@*} in that case, and this stripping of
the FLAVOR is already required and used in e.g. bsd.ports.mk.

With origin at flavor, there is an alternate identifier that is equivalent to
the PKGNAME, and this information is used in port management tools, e.g.
when a port is to be rebuilt for a given PKGNAME.
