I'm doing some work in userland, and have found that some unnecessary

I've seen pkg.linted* and pkg.depend.bypass-generate.
I was thinking that if we expect people to use these attributes, we might
want to simply have pkgsend strip them off for you (maybe with an option to
turn that behavior off), as otherwise you have to go through another
pkgmogrify stage right before pkgsend, which is extra work to put into your
makefiles, etc.
Another option might be to give pkgsend the ability to read in transforms
from one or more files. I think some of us have talked about doing this
for pkgrecv anyway (to replace the set-publisher.sh tool RE currently has
to use), and in some ways it makes sense for any publication tool.
Thoughts?
It seems reasonable to fork & exec pkgmogrify for pkgsend as Bart suggested.
It's not yet clear how and if it should be part of pkgrecv.
