Just a quick reminder: pkglint is not carved in stone, it's just a piece

Yep that's appreciated, but this isn't a wrong warning, it's definitely incorrect for builtin.mk files to be included by packages under normal circumstances.

While we're on the subject, I don't know if it already supports it but it would be nice to have a feature like LINTED, with a mandatory comment and less shouty caps, something like:

  # pkglint: bootstrap package with complex handling to avoid dependencies
  .include "../../archivers/bzip2/builtin.mk"
  ...
