I dunno, I'd rather that if something belched while it was being
removed we didn't delete the only available record of which particular
wreckage in /usr/pkg belonged to it.

ISTM offhand that it shouldn't be too hard to mark the package as
partially deleted in the metadata first, delete the contents, then
delete the metadata.
