Why is the repository configuration for the packaged *base* system in
/usr/*local*/etc?
Because pkg(8) is not in base but from ports.
Overriding base FreeBSD-base repository config with a config file
located in LOCALPREFIX:-/usr/local is comprehensible and the way users
are supposed to do according to the notes in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.
