OK, I think we've been simply slicing the problem off at different points and trying to compare dissimilar layers all this time. :-) I'd have no problem with a generic pkg_control utility which sat on top of a series of more specifically intelligent scripts, though I think that perhaps we should consider whether it's really "packages" we're controlling or services since in, 2 of the examples we've already cited, the lines are somewhat blurred between controlling packages and in-built parts of FreeBSD.
