The code is a regex ^FreeBSD while I wrote the comment thinking of a
shell glob - it's fine that they're not identical (except for this
confusion).  That said there is room for improvement here - we'll want
to detect pkgbase installs in downstream projects that use a different
package naming scheme (e.g. packages starting with CheriBSD).

I'll keep a note of this comment for any potential iteration on this.
