You seem to introduce a number of special-cases that pkg maintainers have
to catch - not only deinstall/install, but also upgrade. Tricky.

What is the exact reason for not trying to remove everything cleanly
(maybe modulo some shared libs...), then install the new pkg cleanly?

I have no problem with renaming pkg_add's -u switch to -r (makes sense,
actually).

If you have any code to review for pkg_*, let me know.
