I haven't been able to find how poudriere jail -c passes any src.conf
settings to its installworld phase. It does seem to have a bunch of
stuff that goes through contortions to put a src.conf into the jail
directory, but only during *buildworld*, not during installworld.

It could very well be that this use case was broken due to a recent
poudriere update. I don't see anything in the recent log of -CURRENT
hat indicates some sort of flipping of the MK_LPR default, it has been
"yes" for ages now.

Whatever the case may be, for some reason you now run into a common
problem with the disconnect between buildworld and installworld: if you
run these under even slightly different environments, there can be
unexpected consequences... :)
