My idea is that it should be done by pkg-install/pkg-deinstall
scripts. These are clear (no need for single line chains as in
`@exec foo && bar && baz'), reusable (may just copy scripts from
other ports), are not affected (essentially removed) by `make plist`,
do not induce false positives in sanity checkers and will work
regardless of pkg-plist infrastructure or policy changes.
pkg-plist, otoh, stays limited to plain file list with mixins of
predefined keywords inner workings of which you shouldn't care
about which work relative to PREFIX.
