I kind of understand the change, I was asking more how this affect 
pkg-base. I did try to compile 13-current kernel and world and package 
it with pkg-base to install on another comp but I failed and I think it 
was due to this issue - that the kernel/world didn't include the sources 
from the drm-current-kmod package.

Does anyone in pkg-base know if it's just for drm-current-kmod or if it 
will be used in other kmod ports as well? Because if it is, then the 
whole pkg-base idea is going to be affected?
