It's about the best one can do -- people might install some modules
themselves, not via packages.

As I think about it, maybe it would be better to not do the rm -rf
and let pkg_delete barf on the extra files -- so user/installer
will be notified there are some extra files one need to remove/whatever.

I'm NOT ignoring it ;) I've correctly replied to tech-userlevel@NetBSD.org
(besides netbsd-bugs@NetBSD.org). I though it got through, but 
it seems it hasn't :(
