You should also believe that many people don't read any of the man
pages, after seeing a web page with a couple of commands to get started
they then only remember one command to build new pkg's and ignore all
the other options that may be available.

As you said "one has limit or no influence over the question" I assumed
you had no knowledge of controlling port options in poudriere. That
assumption shows in my wording.

While the issue is about having an option on that should be off, we can
wait for that to be changed properly, until then you have the choice of
controlling the options your pkg's are built with. After firefox is
updated you can remove the options to disable pulseaudio.

My suggestion is only about providing a solution that works now until a
better update is available.
