It might be a good idea if these jumbo packs were just the packages
that one could install individual packages as updates for them come
out.

Ideally, I would think, you'd want to be able to get the jumbo pack
that has essentials in it, but then kill emacs because you think it is
daemon spawn (he says as he types into his emacs window).  You'd trade
a little bandwidth for a lot of convenience.

Ideally, , it should be as easy as:
	fetch jumbo-e.i386-pc-netbsd1.2.tar.gz
	pkg_add jumbo-e.i386-pc-netbsd1.2.tar.gz
	pkg_delete emacs
to do this.
