Subject: -* wildcard considered dangerous

The addition of the p5-Net-DNS package has just rendered all
p5-Net-* dependencies ambiguous.
I propose we change Packages.txt to specify wildcards as -[0-9]*
rather than -*, and update pkglint to complain about the old form.
I'm happy(*) to take a pass through pkgsrc and update all the
existing DEPENDS.
(*) Or rather it bugs me enough that I'll take the time and flack
from any breakage :)
