Well, you kind of would, wouldn't you? It seems that this should be a well-understood problem these days, at least unless you're going to do something wildly experimental like Nix. Maybe this says more about the archaic languages and systems we're still, though.
(Not that I know much about 'pkg' specifically. What does it do that's different from every other mainstream package manager out there? Why not use APT, for example? Since Debian has a FreeBSD flavour, presumably APT should be able to run without too much tweaking.)
