Why do pkg_* programs not have a option for changing top level directory
like '-r' (or '--root') in rpm utility ?

It'd be very useful and convenient. Jails would be checked for outdated
(by status-pkg srcipt) or vulnerable (by portaudit) packages more simply
with such options.

Best regards,
Alexey.
