Two issues different issues here: one is what a particular
distribution/port-system/etc. wants, and the other is what we want
to be our default. For the latter, I'd be happy to change the
defaults if we find something more appropiate. For the former,
however, we can't make everybody happy at the same time and thus
should have a way to easily adapt when building packages/ports.
