Because you don't have the version.
Because your park is not BSD only.
Because not everyone in the IT teams know what is the default set of
software installed on BSD, especially the security guy in charge of
determining if the just published 0day applies or not.

Fabrice point is correct, and ought a feature request on the tracker.

For implementation, either we find a way to extract this list
dynamically, either we just need a static dictionnary of BSD version
mappings to list of softwares. I don't know how update would change
those versions or not, tough.
