But it does include the following blurb of information in bold right at
the top:

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page is obsolete.  Please refer the pkgsrc guide at
     /usr/pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.txt or /usr/pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.html.  The
     contents of this manual page will be moved there as time permits.


I agree that the documentation on the website you cited in the other
mail could lead to misunderstandings like yours.  I've added a
clarification to the docs.

You would not believe some of the things about frogs.
