There's a lot of similar stuff I inherited straight from ye old freebsd implementation, back when I needed to make compatible shit. I'm pretty certain I can kill most of it, using pkg_info for "programmatic" purposes is mostly dead in our land, since the *.pm primitives are much better for that kind of purpose. (takes about as long to write 5 lines of perl that do things as it takes to figure the pkg_info options you would need to get something vaguely similar and parse it with some shell).
