>Description:
When running lintpkgsrc -g against pkgsrc HEAD or pkgsrc stable the top of the file is littered with entries such as:

-auth-external  www/ap-auth-external    2.2.11nb1
-cjkcodecs      converters/py-cjkcodecs 1.1.1nb1
-pear-Date      time/pear-Date  1.4.3nb1

>From a quick glance lintpkgsrc does not seem to comprehend packages which have a variable PKGNAME prefix.  This causes problems for Python (py15, py20, py21, py22, py23, py24), Apache (ap13, ap2, ap22) and PHP (php4, php5) based packages. 

It should use the default values for these on a per package basis:

PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT 
(but honoring PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED of the package)

PKG_APACHE_DEFAULT     
(but honoring PKG_APACHE_ACCEPTED of the package)

PHP_VERSION_DEFAULT    
(but honoring PHP_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED of the package)

 I don't think this makes much sense. The problem is that this detects
 only a subset of the issues found e.g. with actually running
 pbulk-scan/pbulk-resolve. So this check is *less* strict then the checks
 done during bulk builds and unresolvable dependencies are currently
 considered fatal errors for pbulk.
