   I thought locking packages was intended to stop any modification to 
them so both upgrades and removal would not happen.
   Another topic is its debatable 'if' -f should bypass a lock or not. 
Considering -f is supposed to be able to let pkg delete itself and 
perform deletes that mess up dependencies, I'd say it shouldn't be 
expected that it keeps things safe from other damaging removals; an 
interactive warning seems justifiable when a request to 'break things' 
occurs.
