            Bug ID: 256407
           Summary: 'make check-plist' doesn't complain when optional file
                    is installed despite the option being 'off'
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework

The attached testcase installs the file bin/xz unconditionally, while pkg-plist
has it conditional on the option Z (%%Z%%bin/xz).

With Z=OFF 'make check-plist' doesn't complain as it should that bin/xz is
missing from pkg-plist:
> ====> Checking for pkg-plist issues (check-plist)
> ===> Parsing plist
> ===> Checking for items in STAGEDIR missing from pkg-plist
> ===> Checking for items in pkg-plist which are not in STAGEDIR
> ===> No pkg-plist issues found (check-plist)


Porter's Handbook says:
> In pkg-plist, put %%X11%% in front of the lines only being installed when the option is enabled, like this:
> > %%X11%%bin/foo-gui
