This was being discussed recently on tech-pkg too.

If you know of any package that has an invalid +CONTENTS, please send-pr
it.

I assume all are correct unless someone reports otherwise. (If not,
deinstalls would not be complete.)

The make "print-PLIST" target does a reasonable job of attempting to build
the initial PLIST (for a pkgsrc developer). It basically does a find(1)
too.
