correct. there is no depkgbasify tool at all, as far as i know, since pkg is missing functionality which is required to do that. > So preparing way to de-pkgbasify on nearly final step of the installer > (just before "after-installation configurations" like adding user) would > be helpful. this is planned for 16.0, since we will no longer ship distribution sets and therefore need another solution to do non-pkgbase installs. however i expect the UI to remain the same as it is now: you select whether you want pkgbase or not, and if you choose not, bsdinstall will silently do a pkgbase install then depkgbasify it. there's no need to potentially confuse users by exposing what's happening behind the scenes.
