The system runs 9.99.85, but the build runs in a netbsd-9 chroot
with libkver pretending that this is a netbsd-9.0 system.

The package Makefile also lets it build under netbsd-9.0 which
doesn't make sense for a netbsd-9.0 compatibility package.

I'm also confused about emulator.mk that tells:

EMUL_DISTRO=            netbsd-9.99.82


In any case, the package must not erase things it didn't install.
The minimum should be to verify that the deinstallation removes
symlinks to files installed by the package, not anything else
under that name.


N.B. the error doesn't occur on aarch64 and maybe other archs as
the distfile checksum is bad.
