You are clearly missing the bigger picture here, which is to only show users
messages from pkg when they are needed.  pkg-message *does* support showing
messages on both install and update (see section 9.1.1 of
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/pkg-files.html )

This page also notes: "Committers have blanket approval to constrain existing
messages to install or upgrade ranges using the UCL format specifications."

Please revert and fix properly.

René
