Proposal for making the kernel packages preserve old copies

Hi,
I've finally cleaned up a local patch I've been using and sent it as a
code review:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17119
As stated in the subject this patch uses a deinstall script to make the
kernel packages copy the kernel directory to kernel.old when
deinstalling. This leaves a fallback kernel on the system when
upgrading, which I find quite useful.
I intentionally made it mimic the "make installkernel" behavior.
I did not add any reviewers in the phabric review since I don't know who
I should ask, but I'd like to get some feedback about this.
Thanks!
