From Man:: pkg(5):

file action attribute: original_name

Is this attribute currently supported?

Can someone give some scenario examples? The pkg(5) page talks about 
editable files migrating around and deletion.

Also, the phrase "part of the same packaging operation" isn't clear to me.

TIA, --emk

     original_name This attribute is used to handle editable files moving
                   from package to package or from place to place, or both.
                   The form this takes is the name of the originating package, 
                   followed by a colon and the original path to the file.
                   Any file being deleted is recorded either with its 
                   package and path, or with the value of the original_name
                   attribute if specified.  Any editable file being installed
                   that has the original_name attribute set will use the
                   file of that name if it is deleted as part of the same
                   packaging operation.
