Same here.

How would a package be found, being in /usr/ports/packages/All?  In
my case, i do not like the symlinks generated in various directories
to the packages in All.  I need to have a package in the ports
directory, and let me move it wherever i desire.

And yes, i specify the path to pkg_add instead of just port/package
name when i need to install an already build port as a package.  In
such a scenario i would rather have new behaviour than the one you
are suggesting.  'make deinstall' should not discriminate between
a port & a package.

...all that unless i have missed something.
