1. I think the existence of ${MASTER_SITE_DEBIAN} is intended to allow this.
2. Arbitrarily remove a port like driconf is also rude. driconf is
almost the only GUI DRI configuration tool, and I just want to save
it.
3. Anyway, since debian forked a kFreeBSD, I think we have the
position to get the "permission".
