"port lint" (which is still a tad broken)

How broken? Anything too big that might prompt you to keep it from shipping? Or is it just lacking some polishing that we could wait for?

Its category checker is overzealous. For example if you "sudo port lint phpmyadmin" you get "Error: Unknown category: php". True, there is no top-level category directory called "php", but we decided that extra "virtual" categories aren't really a problem, so long as the "main" (first) category listed in the portfile is in fact the category directory the port is in. So this should be fixed before releasing 1.6. Otherwise people see the output of port lint and go removing all sorts of allegedly invalid categories when they shouldn't necessarily be doing that.
