FYI: It appears that command like "pkg install -rFreeBSD-base -g FreeBSD-set-kernels\*" do not check the set's packages

I tried the likes of:

pkg install -rFreeBSD-base -g FreeBSD-set-kernels\*
pkg upgrade -rFreeBSD-base -g FreeBSD-set-kernels\*

and got no kernel packages when there were upgrades available. Using the
-set- was insufficient. I had to do something more explicit about the
varying naming of the direct kernel packages instead. Then I got the
upgrades.

If it is intended that -set-'s can not be used this way, I expect that
the man pages should be rather explicit about that.
