description="""
The current UI of pkgsrc MESSAGE as a couple of drawbacks:

 - When installing a lot of packages via `pkg_add` or `pkgin` it is often get
   lost
 - When updating packages via `pkg_add` or `pkgin` - also if the `MESSAGE` is
   not changed - it is printed anyway

For possible inspirations please look at OpenBSD ports' pkg-readmes
and/or other package systems.
