Indeed the way things work less than ideal, and that's why you and I and
others have suggested a few minor adjustments to help eliminate some of
the confusion.

I really do like the idea of appending the messages from the "generic"
INSTALL script (i.e. the one which handles RCD_SCRIPTS and other
configuration file defaults) onto the /var/db/pkg/+MESSAGES file so that
they're available at all times (pkg_info -D).  If that's not done by the
next time I get around to bringing my pkgsrc tree up to current then
maybe I'll even implement it myself (and send-pr the changes, of course!).

(I'm not so keen on e-mailing those messages to anyone though....)
