It's a build-time option, so if you use packages, you don't really care.
Now, if you're building your own packages, just put texlive in your
blacklist, and if you see something that you need that's not building, then
change its options.

There, fixed it for you.

| Yes, that's the danger with these cute ports that have options list that

I've added PACKAGE_BUILDING=yes to the composite make.conf I passed to your
script, it kinda works as expected now :-)
