tech-pkg has historically been what we use for the not-yet-created
pkg-legal-flaming%netbsd.org@localhost.  We'll need that eventually if we want 
to
keep up with Debian :-)

A fair question; I asked a longer version of the question just now.

Interesting, but to date pkgsrc has not had a policy that a license
being declared DFSG-acceptable is a basis for putting it in the default
list.  That might be a reasonable policy, but it seems DFSG is severe
enough that I am not sure there are licenses that are DFSG-acceptable
and not Open Source or Free.
