Correct, it doesn't.  Unfortunately anyone using binary package upgrades is
stuffed, and the best we can hope for is that they read UPDATING or the
recent threads on ports@.

Reason for inability to fix this for pkg upgrade;

Source upgrade procedure: build, deinstall, install- we can fail building
to stop this problem.

Binary upgrade: fetch new version, reinstall, install- too late by the time
package is installed.

If you come up with a solution, please let me know!
