unfortunately, that does not provide the same result. it is, however,
influenced by PKG_SYSCONFDIR{,.cdrecord}.

it is not superfluous at all. it provides a clean way to allow users
to use the previous default (or any other path) if they so desire.

other packages use very similar semantics for users to tweak
paths, and this is appropriate given the author's intentions.

if there is a concern with exposing the variable in
bsd.pkg.defaults.mk, I don't have any big objection to removing
it from there - it's commented out, anyway!
