This issue comes up periodically. My only question with it is that I'm 
not sure that the pkg db files are really being handled right *at
all*. Among other things, we deal very poorly with the question of
mounting a /usr/pkg on multiple hosts. Perhaps they belong in
/usr/pkg/etc/pkg/ or something so that they are with the things they
logically describe. "Or maybe not". Some of our packages (like bash)
want to touch things like your /etc/shells file.

The problem, I suspect, is that most of us aren't dealing with large
scale system administration issues, and thus don't have a reasonable
handle on what we need here. People who operate fleets of NetBSD boxes 
probably have a better understanding.
