Hey,

according to pkg_info(1) the -m options "shows the names and one-line
comments for all packages tagged as manually installed". However,
executing `pkg_info -m` shows the quirks package, which is clearly not
"manually installed". According to it's package description: "pkg_add(1)
always installs and updates it automatically".

Can a package be tagged either as manually installed or as a dependency
and as quirks is not a dependency, it is tagged as manually installed?
If this is so, it seems to make sense that is tagged as manually
installed.

However, what do you think about not showing quirks when executing
`pkg_info -mz`, as this is intended to "be reused with pkg_add(1) -l to
recreate a package installation"? Similarly to how firmware is not shown.
This would resemble the behaviour I expect from `pkg_info -mz`.

Also, what is the reason the quirks package does not have a man page? I
believe it should have one, just like any other program. Is this
something that is desired? If so, I would gladly model one after the
package description.

Kind regards,
Leo
