>Description:
	Prior to the days where pkgsrc was standalone (it no longer
	requires makefiles from /usr/share/mk), it also needed an
	mtree spec, BSD.pkg.dist, in /etc/mtree.

	This is a needless dependency on other parts of the system.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Put pkgsrc on an older NetBSD installation, and watch it fail to
	work, simply because of a missing /etc/mtree/BSD.pkg.dist.

>Fix:
	Move BSD.pkg.dist into the pkgsrc tree and somehow teach
	bsd.pkg.mk to use it from that location.
