It probably is. I would just wonder whether the contents of the
two files would change depending on the local NetBSD version/port,
or the local prefix, if not /usr/pkg. My guess is that they would
not change. Meanwhile the canned binaries might not match the
local machine.
Is there a "no docs" target for packages? So documentation dependencies
could be overridden and only binaries generated?
