generally, no, at least as i undersatnd it: the idea of pkgbase is you
choose what you want to be installed by installing or not installing
specific packages, so there should be no need for source-specific
customisation.

that's what prompted my other thread about mailwrapper: the current
behaviour doesn't really fit into the pkgbase philosophy because what is
installed as 'mailwrapper' varies based on source switches.

with FreeBSD-utilities, i would expect this to be installed on most
normal multiuser systems -- it's just larger than it should be right
now.  once it's trimmed down a bit, i can't imagine someone needing a
source knob to decide whether 'bc', for example, is installed in
-utilities.  (if someone needs that level of customisation, like for an
embedded system, they should be building from source anyway.)
