Except it's broken, it fails to include the pkg-install/deinstall scripts in
the package where the 'make package-recursive' was run..  I noticed this
when I was trying to install the packages for mail/cyrus-imapd22 and it's
dependency security/cyrus-sasl2 on a different system.  It failed due to a
missing cyrus user (since I had initially ran 'make package-recursive' in
security/cyrus-sasl2).

I just re-ran 'make package-recursive' using the cyrus-imapd22 port and here
are the results of both package-recursive and package targets:

First use 'make package-recursive'

As you can see the +INSTALL and +DEINSTALL scripts are missing from the
package created from the package-recursive target.

NOTE: This only affects the parent package, all dependant packages are fine.

I have submited PR 57870 on this problem:
