Yep that's appreciated, but this isn't a wrong warning, it's definitely 
incorrect for builtin.mk files to be included by packages under normal 
circumstances.

While we're on the subject, I don't know if it already supports it but 
it would be nice to have a feature like LINTED, with a mandatory comment 
and less shouty caps, something like:

   # pkglint: bootstrap package with complex handling to avoid dependencies
   .include "../../archivers/bzip2/builtin.mk"
   ...

Cheers,
