What's Meta v1?

It is the version listed in the file `/var/db/pkg/Avalon.meta`. Oh my
dragonfly dev machine (which I basically never have time to poke at :-(
...) the contents are:

{"version":2,"packing_format":"txz","manifests":"packagesite.yaml","filesite":"filesite.yaml","manifests_archive":"packagesite","filesite_archive":"filesite"}

On the other hand, my Ham radio DragonFly machine, which is running
6.2-RELEASE, has this:

{"version":1,"packing_format":"txz","digest_format":"sha256_base32","digests":"digests","digests_archive":"digests","manifests":"packagesite.yaml","filesite":"filesite.yaml","manifests_archive":"packagesite","filesite_archive":"filesite"}

I'm not quite sure what creates or updates that file, nor what the
implication of simply updating the "version": in the latter file from 1 to
2 would be.
