Hi Thierry,

Would need to spend some time isolating/understanding the behaviour 
delta in detail to be able to recommend the best course of action, 
modulo trying to use USE_PYTHON=distutils which automates most/all of 
this work, as it uses setuptools --record output to produce the pkg-plist

We can help you figure some of the details out in #freebsd-python on
