It's a temporary solution until we can come up with a way to propogate

mess for our users.
not sure I mentioned it before, but :
anyone have any experience using $LOCALPATCHES ?
(http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/components.html#components.patches.sources)
seems like we could use this for in-package code related fixes..
not sure what to do about actual makefile diffs, etc...
maybe the pkgsrc folks would not be opposed to adding some kind of
makefile-check-warning into whatever mechanism handles $LOCALPATCHES
e.g.
if $LOCALPATCHES/mypackage/Makefile
warn about presence of overriding makefile
or potentially .include it
...
of course, brings up the whole which-df-branch to match
which-pkgsrc-branch thing again..
