The package py27-distribute that is replacing py27-setuptools is *older*
in version from the old package. So a force install is needed. Same as
the -f flag for portupgrade. This is due to them not wanting to
downgrade ports by default. Even when "replacing" or "moving" origins,
they will not downgrade without being forced.

This also happened in devel/pkgconf update in 20120726.

An ugly way to avoid this would be to use a PORTEPOCH higher than the
old in the new port.
