rc.d scripts must be in /etc because at the time of rcorder, /usr is not
mounted (unless a trivial case). Given the dependancies though, /usr is
mounted when the time comes for those package to run (they will typically
depend on DAEMON).

The hack suggested by Greywolf would work (rc.conf is reread by each
script) but the problem of rcorder will remain, unless we add a rc.d
script named 'pkg' that will rcorder scripts in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d. This
has the drawback of not letting the user precisely define globally the
order of scripts.
