pkgsrc's audit-packages gets a database with known vulnerabilities from the
web, just to let you know, that the package "X" will allow other users to
root your box, even if the checksums are all okay. This could be a neat
feature to add to ports, but don't look at me, I am pro-pkgsrc guy and I
recommend using it on every OS it supports ;)
