Would not it just be easier to re-arrange the original plist to be:

@cwd %%CWD_TRICK%%
.....
@cwd %%RC_DIR%%
quagga%%RC_SUFX%%
watchquagga%%RC_SUFX%%

This should work fine, if me reading of pkg_* code is correct.  the
disadvantage is, of course, using a feature (-p = replace only the
_first_ @cwd), which is not documented.
