I know.
3) Let's replace /usr/local allover with /package.
And 4) let's dump sendmail and replace SMTP with QMTP.
After all, the whole *point* of a filesystem hierarchy is that once
you set something in place you're not supposed to move it around any
longer.

Regardless of the amounts of fine software, documentation aso. DJB's
written, sometimes I fail to see what he is really trying to
achieve. In real world you can't just dump existing standards
("standards" meaning de facto standards here too) regardless of
how good the replacement would be.

As for your question: does this really mean that you can no
longer do a pkg_add -p /opt daemontools-0.76.tgz after this
transition? Or is /package just the default in contrast to most
other packages that use /usr/local by default?
