pkg(5) doesn't allow installation through symlinks anymore and it does
check the file type when installing files, directories, etc.
To be clear, these are symlinks to the bookkeeping files under
/var/pkg/pkg/<name>/*
Links to these are not going to work?
At the moment, the ones for those might, assuming that other files can
be written to /var/pkg/pkg/<name>/, but that will break in the future.
If they don't, I guess that's OK, but that means more RAM will be needed
to host these files.
The short story is, /var/pkg is project private, its structure is
subject to change at any time (and is planned to change again in the
near future), and the various gyrations that are being gone through here
to try to hack together a readable/writeable area are going to break.
The only thing that I would expect to work reliably would be a single
link at the top in /var/pkg to wherever the actual /var/pkg contents is.
Cheers,
