i don't expect you to specify the interface between (pkg)base and
poudriere, but understand that we're on a very tight timeframe to
get pkgbase ready for the 15.0 release, and i have several other
fixes that i need to land before that can happen and limited time
to work on those.  so, since you discovered this issue, and have a
system that can reproduce the issue and test a fix, i thought it
would be reasonable for you to report the issue to poudriere.

the alternative is that i will put this low-priority issue on my
TODO list and get around to reporting it at some point, but that
might not be before 15.0-R and it might be not in the timeframe
you were expecting the issue to be addressed.

i don't want to seem dismissive here, because you have found an
actual issue that should be fixed, but i think it's reasonable
to assume that someone who runs CURRENT or STABLE would be willing
to report issues in third-party software without needing me to
act as an intermediary.   this doesn't mean you need to take on
the responsibility of designing the fix for this issue; if there's
really a need for more input from me here i'm sure Bryan is quite
capable of handling that.
