Yes that is it.

Note that I will relax it in pkg 1.6.4 to be released very soon, I have been too
strict by accident in pkg 1.6.3 (I have never thought anyone would use file://
or file:/.

pkg respects RFC2396 but there are not reason not to relax it a bit given some
users seems to use the previous syntax
