That's right.  /var/db/syspkg is not part of the base system, though
you may choose to create it and use it to register syspkgs.  This will
probably change when syspkgs become supported.

That's fine; it's supposed to be equivalent to passing "-U" to build.sh.

That's created as a work area by src/distrib/sets/regpkg.  Since DESTDIR
should be inside your temporary build area (especially if you use
build.sh in unprivileged mode), this should not affect anything.

Good idea.  I'll try to write one.

No, I don't think so.
