Ah, it's because I set PKGSRC_KEEP_BIN_PKGS=no in the bootstrap
environment.

This is probably something we should set by default in the bootstrap
script.  How about something like this?

FWIW, if you are performing bulk builds, you should consider setting
PKGSRC_KEEP_BIN_PKGS=no in your mk.conf too.  That way you won't have
your pristine built packages obliterated whenever you perform some
pkgsrc development with them.
