Well, on my NetBSD, pkglint request that addition (remove it from packist.mk
and run pkglint).

Maybe I misinterpreted it (than I will remove it), or pkglint needs to
be improved.
As long pkglint should be used for pkg developers to enhance the
quality of their
modules, we developers need to trust that tool - sorry when I was to quick here,
