Wow. That's some serious savings.
Here's a crazy thought:

if you can configure it so that the .pyc stuffs go to /var somewheres, then
you might not actually "need" to declare it with installf.

Although you MIGHT want to declare a special script, and declare it as
type "i", such as

i cswpurge

in your prototype file.

Then at such time as pkgutil and pkg-get support a "purge" call, they can
call it after doing pkgrm, if the user says "yes, 'purge' anything to
do with this package when I remove it".
