pkgsrc sources have two patterns:

e.g.

security/heimdal/files/kpasswdd.sh:

    . /etc/rc.subr

www/lighttpd/files/lighttpd.sh

    $_rc_subr_loaded . @SYSCONFBASE@/rc.subr

If I am a packager which of these two shall I choose?

Would be nice if this aspect were uniform across packages. As a user now
I have to handle it in a package specific way. (Till now lighttpd was the
odd one out among the pkg daemons on my system. By that, I don't mean
that's the `wrong' one.)
