There _IS_ a problem now. Just "pkg_delete digest", revert your
pkg_install to NetBSD-1.5's, and try to install either package.

Incidently, why does the "uptodate-digest" target go ahead and delete
and (attempt to) reinstall the package without warning the user? Isn't
that rude? Suppose I do a "make package" on a clean system somewhere,
expecting to get binary packages for all the dependencies. It looks
like I won't get one for "digest".
