I agree. I was thinking if it could be acceptable to add an option to
the port for installing/not installing the sample blacklists and not
adding those to the plist anyway. This could be easier to handle.
Perhaps also more logical.

With this change a note on deinstall to check and remove by hand the
folder should also be added, obviously.
