This implies either an implicit default flavor-name, or stripping of  
the flavor-name in the package-name if it is the first listed flavor.

And if a flavor-ised port gets a different name, shouldn't we  
standardize on the name of the default-flavor (which makes it obsolete  
to list in FLAVORS then)?

Bye,
Alexander.
