How to do the equivalent of "pkg clean" for the likes of: /usr/local/poudriere/jails/official-aarch64/var/cache/pkg/FreeBSD-* [poudriere vs. pkg issue?]

I'm not sure if this would be considered a poudriere usage s. a pkg
usage issue for where to submit.

My poudriere jail updates are not cleaning out prior:

/usr/local/poudriere/jails/*/var/cache/pkg/FreeBSD-*

files after updates. For example my "official-aarch64" poudriere jail
now shows over 1600 files:

# ls -dC1
/usr/local/poudriere/jails/official-aarch64/var/cache/pkg/FreeBSD-* | wc -l
    1682

and spans a history of 6 snapshots:

# ls -dC1t \
/usr/local/poudriere/jails/official-aarch64/var/cache/pkg/FreeBSD-*~* \
| sed -e 's@^.*\(/FreeBSD-.*\)-15\.snap.*~.*$@\1@' \
| sort \
| uniq -c \
| sort -rn \
| head

   6 /FreeBSD-toolchain
   6 /FreeBSD-src-sys
