Some time ago, we decided to stop being too clever about PKGNAMEs.
No more PKGNAME=${DISTNAME:C/.../:S/.../}.  Just spell it out.

In a similar fashion, I suggest that there is no value in things like

  HOMEPAGE=       http://some.whe.re/
  ...
  MASTER_SITES=   ${HOMEPAGE}files/

It's just harder to read.  If that homepage moves, you'll have to
check the location of the master site anyway.  Just spell it out.

  HOMEPAGE=       http://some.whe.re/
  ...
  MASTER_SITES=   http://some.whe.re/files/

There are times where you don't want to duplicate data... and there
are times where you are just being silly.
