There is one possible problem with that. It occurred to that it is quite
possible now to run regular freebsd in a jail or chroot on a debian
freebsd box, and vice versa. I assume the same is true for the netbsd
port. If we use sysctl or uname to make the distinction, that jail or
chroot usage will be affected.
