   Log Message:
   Deprecate the pkgdb_dir settings from daily.conf and security.conf in
   favor of the PKG_DBDIR variable in /etc/pkg_install.conf.  The purpose
   of this is to only have to define the location of the packages database
   in a single place and have all other system components pick it up.

thanks for doing this!  it has always bothered me.
   
   pkgdb_dir is still honored if defined and the scripts will spit out a
   warning in that case, asking the administrator to migrate to the
   PKG_DBDIR setting.  We can't remove this compatibility workaround until,
   at least, after NetBSD 6 is released.

if we've decided to do this now, then after netbsd 7 is the time to
remove it.  please make sure it is part of the new install notes..
