(a) The assumption that /usr/pkg is on a separate filesystem is not that
unlikely to be wrong. Therefore the system should not get in my way of I
decide to make it part of /
(b) There are two problems here which need to be distinguished. The
first is getting the order of scripts correct. This requires that the
scripts are readable early in the boot. A script from pkgsrc might not
need anything from /usr/pkg. It might not need a writeable / or
/usr/pkg.
