I see. That wouldn't be a big deal since…

it's the port "skrooge-devel" which the skrooge-developers decided to not to 
support anymore. Instead we agreed upon maintaining solely port "skrooge".

This is why I would simple "rm" it.

BUT, how to I create 'a stub port marked as "replaced_by"'??? (Just out of 
sheer curiosity I'd like to know, just in case I come across a case like this 
in the future.)
