I mostly agree with Curts argumentation on this point.  I want to point
out nevertheless that the pkgs start/stop scripts should, in priciple,
be shareable.  I.e. they could just as well be installed in
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d.

Independent form the /etc/rc restructuring, the pkgs start/stop scripts
should do the right thing for starting and stopping the daemons now.
(There are a lot that don't.  Some can't handle an argument of "stop",
even.)  And these scripts should be obey /etc/rc.conf until the
restructuring.  All of this IMHO, of course.  But this is a different
discussion.
