Yes, that's true, but it's actually a superset of my request.  To make the
packaging system properly track files, it is necessary to:

* install files by default, not requiring admin copying (the primary
  technical part of my request), and

* track any configurable pathnames for those installed files so that
  pkg_delete can find them without having to set the appropriate env vars a
  second time.
