Point taken, but what about a readme associated with a dependency
install? I've seen them buried, even scroll off screen, in pkg
install with a lot of dependencies.
that's why I added it.
Then again, most people don't RTFM.

I don't object to it, but when you install a package with such
information, it says:
# pkg_add xl2tpd quirks-2.66 signed on 2015-04-23T10:51:49Z
xl2tpd-1.3.1p5: ok The following new rcscripts were installed:
/etc/rc.d/xl2tpd See rcctl(8) for details. Look in
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes for extra documentation.
If people don't manage to find it when it's right in front of them,
what hope is there of them noticing it in the FAQ?
