Oh, that's not good.

For historic reasons, this variable has a misleading name. This variable
basically means "before creating and installing the package, run a few
checks to validate that the package will be usable".

Some of these checks are:

* Does the list of installed files match the PLIST from the package?

* Does every #! interpreter that is mentioned in one of the installed
files actually exist?

The variable PKG_DEVELOPER should be set to "yes" by everyone, not only
by pkgsrc developers.
