Yes, I know this is what you do at the moment.  But I don't want to
install ssh or cvs separately - I want them to be installed from the
pkgsrc framework.  I don't want to think:  am I on a bulk build box? 
Do I have to install this in a non-standard place?  Are my keys going
to get nuked?  before I do anything.  I just want it to work.  Which
is why I'd like there to be a list of packages which shouldn't be
knobbled, and why I think ssh and cvs (if appropriate i.e.  in pkgsrc)
should be on that list.  I don't want the list to be huge, because you
then run the risk of missing a pre-requisite package.

No, I can't think of any other package that influences the way that
pkgsrc itself behaves, either.
