Now that pkg.freebsd.org is up and running, the bootstrap version should
be the latest available (pkg-1.2.5 at the moment).  The pkg package is
only special in that it has a 'LATEST_LINK'-style URL (without the
version number) for the benefit of /usr/sbin/pkg bootstrapping;
something that pkg(8) has otherwise eliminated the necessity for.
