Here I find that audit-packages man page gives flags such as -V and 
more importantly -Q varname, but the audit-packages script itself 
both here and also as checked on ftp.NetBSD.org doesn't include use 
of those flags. The -Q option is used in make readme scripts. I've 
emailed Adrian with debug output etc.
