I do not know if the below was looked into or handled (if
needed) . . .

One of the differences that shows up in what

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-pkgbase/2025-October/001068.html

reported is that, for BETA3, the following .so files only showed
up in the distset based jail creation test, not the pkgbase based
jail creation test:

Only in /tmp/jail-distset/usr/lib32: libkadm5clnt.so
Only in /tmp/jail-distset/usr/lib: libkadm5clnt.so

There are other things unique to the /tmp/jail-distset/
installation but having .so existence distinctions stood
out to me.

An interesting point about those in my general (pkgbase'd
amd64 environment) is:

# find -s / -name libkadm5clnt\*.so -print
/tmp/jail-distset/usr/lib/libkadm5clnt.so
/tmp/jail-distset/usr/lib/libkadm5clnt_mit.so
/tmp/jail-distset/usr/lib32/libkadm5clnt.so
/tmp/jail-distset/usr/lib32/libkadm5clnt_mit.so
/tmp/jail-pkgbase/usr/lib/libkadm5clnt_mit.so
/tmp/jail-pkgbase/usr/lib32/libkadm5clnt_mit.so
/usr/lib/libkadm5clnt_mit.so
/usr/lib32/libkadm5clnt_mit.so

That might suggest that the names without "_mit"
should not exist in the /tmp/jail-distset/
creation.
