CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE seems to do an odd thing.  It doesn't install the
cups binaries in /usr/bin, but it does do a chmod 0000 on everything it
replaces in /usr/bin .  For example

praxis:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/lpr
-r-sr-sr-x  1 root  daemon  29876 Jun 24 09:16 /usr/bin/lpr
# portupgrade -f cups-base-1.4.3
praxis:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/lpr
----------  1 root  daemon  29876 Jun 24 09:16 /usr/bin/lpr

I'll still use it, but interesting behavior.
