I think it's understandable at install time, but not at reinstall / 
upgrade time. It complicates binary upgrade process, which is what I 
thougth pkgng was intended to make easier.

User should not be forced to reapply permissions after each upgrade, 
even more if said user is not responsible of package creation (i.e. use 
of freebsd.org repo).
Moreover, this is not consistant with make install behavior, which does 
not overides permisions if directory already exists.

Maybe make an option of this ?
