I've often thought that /nonexistent probably isn't helpful here, we
should rename it /something-is-broken-you-need-to-investigate or similar.

Yes please, this allows us to document possible causes in the pkgsrc guide.

If we were to document that "/nonexistent" can mean many different
things, none of which really expects /nonexistent to exist, that would
sound plain silly.
