           Summary: Porter's handbook: a meta port should describe itself
                    as such

From experience, and from e.g.
<https://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=shortdescription&method=match&query=meta&num=500&orderby=port&orderbyupdown=asc&search=Search&format=html&minimal=1&branch=head>,
I assume that it's good practice for a meta port to describe itself as such in: 

- at least, the COMMENT line of its Makefile

- additionally, its description. 

<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/> there's no hint
along these lines.
