When portmaster is run, it creates a
/var/db/pkg/${PKGNAME}/PM_UPGRADE_DONE_FLAG file to keep track of
which ports it has upgraded. This allows portmaster to skip over
ports it has already upgraded. When it has successfully completed the
run, the PM_UPGRADE_DONE_FLAG is removed, but the
/var/db/pkg/$PKGNAME} is left behind.
