Indeed. Why are they not available in other targets?
One example where they are not available is "show-var" (and probably any other target that isn't run inside _PKGSRC_BARRIER=yes).
Because pkglint isn't omniscient, I chose to only document that it is guaranteed in the {pre,do,post}-* targets, since they are not intended to be run directly by the user, and they are always run inside the _PKGSRC_BARRIER.
I left all the other cases because that would require even more analysis of pkgsrc's inner workings. In my opinion, pkglint is already slow enough. :)
