Do you mean the /var/pkg/*/+DISPLAY file (which is usually created from
the source "MESSAGE" file)?  It already shows the /var/pkg/*/+DESCR file.
I'm not sure there's any reason to display the +DISPLAY file unless it
is explicitly asked for with '-D'.

What's needed is more awareness of the purpose of "pkg_info -D"!  :-)
