The do-package code is used by the package and the package-noinstall
targets.

package-noinstall is called by package-recursive on ALL-DEPENDS.
I.e. it is only used on completely installed packages, just what
"pkg_create -b" was made for.

The regular package target is always run after install (search for
"Main logic" in bsd.port.mk). So do-package is only called after
install has completed, hence the code can, in every case, rely on
logdir containing all required data.
