:-) That's why the original message was suffixed with "where applicable." The 
ones that use ui_msg as notes could/should use notes.

Ryan, I suggest clearing the notes out during a later phase: as we've seen with 
KDE ports users may build them phase-by-phase. If configure phase is already 
done then the message won't be cleared. Right?
