Well, what I meant with "pollution" was:
I already have all packages on the package building server. I don't need packages locally on each server. 'pkg clean' would be a workaround, but it would be fine if pkg can be configured to not create a cache at all ...
So I need to file a feature request, right?

To me it's a kind of aesthetic concern: I don't want to have redundancies if they aren't necessary.
