Yes, it is a problem.  It makes us (FreeBSD) look like careless fools not
even able (or giving a shit about) to keep crap out of the packages we ship.
These things add up, regardless of how non-functional they might be, to the
bad impression of us.  Please try to make ports nice and clean, remove the
crap, it's very easy:

post-extract:
# Remove the crap
	@${FIND} ${WRKSRC} -type f -name ... -delete

Slighly longer for directories.
