I won't accept a patch for an experimental driver until a pull request to 
our upstream has been submitted first, then only to the -devel port. If 
they refuse to accept the patch, I will need to remove it from the port as 
well.

Another option may be to add an option for an experimental driver from 
which we can fetch your sources from. You'd need to provide a URL. I'm not 
prepared to add the patch cart blanche because if it breaks I'm not 
prepared to diagnose and debug it for you.

Preferred is an upstream pull request. Their URL is
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut.

BTW, I found the problematic postfix rule and have fixed it. Sorry about 
the bother.
