Well, perhaps you misread my question. I meant "what the code in question
is expected to be used for?", not "what the code in question does?". Also
idea to hardcode regex (two of them actually) into an utility doesn't
looks very solid to me, instead I would like to see it be specificable
(or at least overrideable) from the command line, i.e.:

# pkg_delete -P ^.\*foo.bar foo-0.0
(don't delete files which end with `foo.bar').
