Currently, pkg image-update *always* creates a new BE if there are any changes to be made, while pkg install *never* does, even if the changes would require one (in which case it complains). At some point before the next release, we'd like to have a BE created if and only if it's required by the underlying changes, regardless of whether image-update or install is doing the work. Danek
