Every port that has an @sample annotation in their plist leaves files
behind. Poudriere doesn't care about those and pkg will print a message
on package deinstall for them.

    You may need to manually remove ${target_file} if it is no longer
    needed.

devel/dbus could also give the same suggestion for /var/lib/dbus/machine-id.

Furthermore Mk/Scripts/check_leftovers.sh could be amended to ignore it
too. It already ignores files from fontconfig, gconf, glib, ghc, etc. so
there are precedents for this already.
