I thought the renaming was actually aesthetically useful ... keeps the
Makefile at the front of the file list and puts all the package-bundle files
together as a group.

In any case, there's no need to type 5 characters to get command line
completion on those on a reasonable shell (mine is NetBSD's own
/bin/ksh).... p<completekey>d<completekey> gets you pkg-descr.  :>

And we now return you to your regularly scheduled "real work"....
