--- Comment #3 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> ---
this is how pkg version is expected to work for decated, moveing something from
subpackages to a flavor is the same as renaming the origin of a package, which
has never been tracked pkg (or pkg_version before pkg), but documented in
MOVED.

Now if one want to make pkg version support the MOVED file, in case it is
found, then this should solve your case (and I would be happy to merge the
patch).

So yes it works as it has always been intended to work, could we extend it to
cover the case you highlight, yes and I would welcome a contribution therE.
