we don't disallow depkgbasifying and there is no intention to do that.

what this warning is trying to communicate is that running installworld
on a pkgbase system DOES NOT depkgbasify the system.  rather, it leaves
you with a pkgbase system where the packages are inconsistent with the
installed system.

if you have correctly depkgbased the system, then you will not run into
this warning to begin with, because it only appears on pkgbase systems.
