>Description:
	We have a new mailing list, freebsd-pkg, which bapat@ has
	requested.

	This is the update for the Handbook for its description.
>How-To-Repeat:
	n/a
>Fix:
	As is usual, the below is a result of pasting the "terse"
	and "verbose" descriptions in what looked to me like
	appropriate places (using simple pattern-matching).  Please
	edit the below as appropriate.
