Yeah, I don't know why I was trying to do that in the first place. Despite
this, strangely nothing was logged. I submitted the port with ticket #53753 if
you want to take a look at it. I stuck to destroot.args (checked other
portfiles, some use this, some patch makefile, not univocally), copied
autocompletion files to {prefix}/share/{subport} (checked porthier) and added
notes to copy them to a source-able location.
