If you're running NetBSD HEAD dated after 20070714 you will have the new
audit-packages files in the base system.  You can still install
pkgtools/pkg_install if you wish, as they will install to ${PREFIX} and
pkgsrc will use them in preference to the pkg_install in the base.

As of pkg_install-20070714 security/audit-packages and
pkgtools/pkg_install will conflict as they both install the same
audit-packages files.  So, if someone is running security/audit-packages
and they wish to upgrade after I remove the package from CVS it's a
simple matter of 'pkg_delete audit-packages' and install an updated
pkg_install.

So I think that's a 'true' on both counts :)
