ideally this isn't something we want to be doing on an ongoing basis.

at the moment there are a number of files that are installed in the
wrong package by accident (usually in -utilities, because that's the
default package) or that are deliberately installed in -utilities but
would be better in their own package.  i'm trying to fix all of these
prior to the 15.0 release so that people who install a release version
don't have to deal with this.

if we want to do something like this again after 15.0-RELEASE then we
will need to come up with a better solution.

we could also do with some sort of metapackage / package groups system,
so you can easily install a workload like "development tools" and also
get new packages for that workload when you upgrade... i believe the
pkg(8) people are working on something like this, or at least would
like to work on it if they have time :-)
