Sounds good. A package .tgz certainly shouldn't be deleted before it has
been added. Keeping them all until pkg_add is finished could be a problem
if /tmp (or /var/tmp if that's where they go) is too small. But as the
default is to have everything in one partition it would be much better
than the current way.
