In pkgsrc, it is also considered a bug for a package installation to use the net. Our spamassassin package doesn't, and users have to run sa-update before starting it after upgrades. This seems broken to me; it seems that a release should come with rules, even if we know that people should be updating to more modern ones. This seems to be a recent change; I don't remember getting bit by it until just now.
