This includes 786 "-doc" packages, 2087 "-dev" packages and for example bacula in freebsd has two ports (bacula-server and bacula-client). How do you count this? 14 packages only for one program? So, FOUR THOUSAND less or more in FreeBSD?

bacula
bacula-client
bacula-common
bacula-console
bacula-console-gnome
bacula-director
bacula-director-common
bacula-director-mysql
bacula-director-pgsql
bacula-director-sqlite
bacula-doc
bacula-fd
bacula-sd
bacula-server
