Hm, I also asked myself that. I always copy * to /etc/rc.d;

This is also the way shown in "The Guide".

Perhaps it's because "we" don't want to change the startup behaviour 
(addtional services) with a pkgsrc-make install?

It seems like it's always up to the admin to enable any newly installed 
daemons.
