I prefer if we'd keep the two-level naming scheme we use now - adding
yet another 'indirection' directory is not really necessary and makes
it unncessarily harder to figure what depends on what. Please keep
things simple.

I do agree it would be nice to unify encoding of 'major' version into
pkg names for packages with more than one version in pkgsrc, however.
That should be done, IMHO.
