Hi Pavel, as a new comer to FreeBSD my POLA was that:

1. all files,links,resources installed by a package should be registered in pkg
db
2. conflicting pkg/ports should be marked as such (or resolved!)
3. pkg itself should warn or possibly fail to install conflicts unless --force
or similar flag is given

I see 2 things to do here:

1. decide what, if anything to do about POLA#1 for openjdk8, assuming pkg can
track softlinks.

2. decide what to do about POLA#2 and POLA#3 for pkg. I can raise another
ticket if required but I'd like to see one of the pkg people at least comment
on this thread first.

Sounds sensible to you?
