How does it deal with programs embedding PKG_INFO etc?
I would suggest to fix it by introducing a pkg_install phase before
bootstrap-depends. It installs pkg_install alone (or updates it?) and
afterwards calls a recursive make similiar to the barrier stuff.
Alternatively we just set the pkg_install prefix to ${PREFIX} if
pkg_install is outdated and in NetBSD base. What do you think?
It should still register as a bootstrap dependency, but that would be a
noop.
