I thought we were supposed to use build.sh? I am still confused about
the "right" way to upgrade from sources.

Can this be documented in http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current?
It now says: "To build the binaries into some other location (in case
you're paranoid about tromping on a running system), just alter the
DESTDIR setting, ...". So DESTDIR is only for paranoids? And it does
not explain what to do after a build -D.
