It is certainly our goal to implement friendly messages ahead of time where possible. For errors we don't specifically handle, a generic message is provided directing a user about what to do (contact us). However, we still need the "unfriendly" messages when something unexpected happens so we can help them figure out what went wrong. As I'm sure you're aware, pkg(5) is still under heavy development, so the spit and polish of a fully supported solution isn't yet in place.
