Not considerable, it's on my todo list of things I'm going to implement sooner or later. I was first going to add some annotation to packing-lists on the fly, now it looks a bit expensive. Creating another file is wasteful, maybe just turn out the x bit for the PLIST would serve the same purpose. Anyways, YES, it's something that is planned, you can even find traces of it in pkg_add already...
