Hi Edgar,

I rate it as a misuse of .packlist in pkgsrc (from current understanding
of .packlist in Perl Toolchain Gang).
However - I usually „fix“ it by adding

pre-configure:
       cd ${WRKSRC} && find `pwd` -name "*.orig" -type f | xargs rm

to Makefile.
Hope that explains a bit.

I CC Wen, cause he did the last commit.
I also add David and Bingos to set it maybe on the discussion list
for Lyon Consensus :)

Cheers
