  No, I don't use ``pkg_add -u'', but I would view it as saying ``I
want this package''.  I'm manually pkg_add'ing it.

  What does pkg_add -u do if the given package is not already installed?

  Anyway, if it's that important to you, go ahead and have pkg_add -u
always preserve the flag.  But *don't* waste another option letter on
this, and *don't* have pkg_add -u *set* the automatic flag.
