Sorry, I should add a detail about reproducibility I'd forgotten myself.
You need sysutils/checkperms installed *and* PKG_DEVELOPER=yes to trip
this warning.

One of my reasons for having it installed is that I've observed at least
one regular pkgsrc bulk build environment was configured that way, so
builds would sometimes fail with this sort of thing.
