see pkgsrc/mk/install/deinstall for details:

  eval set -- ${RCD_SCRIPTS}
  for script
  do                                                   =20
    samplefile=3D"${PKG_PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/${script}"      =20
    file=3D"${RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR}/${script}"
    shift
    ALL_FILES=3D"${ALL_FILES} \"${samplefile}\" \"${file}\""
  done

so as you can see, yes, it tries to deinstall that file as well if it
doesn't differ from the original one.  of course, bsd.pkg.install.mk
must me included in package's Makefile to use these features.

and that is the default behaviour.  see pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.install.mk for
further details:

  # Default to not installing the rc.d scripts automatically.
  INSTALL_RCD_SCRIPTS?=3D NO


i just have a strange feeling that someone is trying to reinvent the
wheel here :) (no offense meant)
