   | This can be provoked two ways:
   | 1) pkg_comp build (a package that is installed in chroot already)
   | 2) pkg_comp build (list of package names including dependencies)
 
 I'm not sure that this can really be regarded as a defect in pkg_comp
 or that it should be fixed there.   What you're describing is exactly
 true of pkgsrc, if you change "pkg_comp build" into "make install"
 for the relevant package.
 
 pkg_comp is a great way to build packages, but I'm not sure we should
 really be making it behave differently than pkgsrc does
