That's a good point actually, maybe something should be added to 'MESSAGE'
for openssh advising that the base systems ssh,sshd etc binaries still
exist. It's probably a point of confusion to the inexperienced.

     did you seriously expect that installing something from pkgsrc would
     overwrite something from your base system?

     simply rm those binaries and use the ones from /usr/pkg.  or...clean
     out the build you did of openssh from pkgsrc and rebuild it with
     LOCALBASE set to /usr.

     WARNING!!!!!  make sure you understand what that will do.
