OK, I get that. The reason I opted for a flavour was that it would be built by
project builders and thus automatically available as a binary package. 

Except me and a bunch of other gray beards, most people these days rely on the
packages. And since Dtrace is a key selling point of FreeBSD, it's a waste if
it would not be available as drop in option thanks to an optional binary
package that can swap in the default one (think: pkg delete python-3.11 && pkg
install python-dtrace-3.11). 

That would still break links for pkg check --dependencies and as you explain
succeeding pkg installation, but perhaps an additional pkg-message would be
enough to inform an operator.
