I do not follow pkgsrc very closely most of the time. So I regularily miss
pkgs being moved/renamed. This makes updating a machine with pkg_chk a
hell.

Could we have some central, machine readable, file in pkgsrc/doc where
such events are recorded? Then we could teach pkg_chk how to deal/warn/abort
when it finds one of the old pkgs installed or in pkgchk.conf.
