 2) there might be bugs in the update logic

Does some of the update logic overlap etcupdate?  When I ran
etcupdate(8) it prompted for me to install sets that build.sh had
installed a minute or two before.  After some more experience, I plan
to consider sysbuild.

No, totally separate code.  I meant that there are Makefile rules which
express dependencies, and it's possible that there is someplace where
there is an unexpressed dependency.

Yes, I have experienced this in other places, too.

etcupdate could also have bugs.

Also, check out pkgsrc/sysutils/etcmanage, with include scripts
{BUILD,INSTALL}-NetBSD.  I don't yet understand how it relates to
sysbuild - I suspect it does things sysbuild doesn't and vice versa.

Probably I can experiment very carefully with sysutils/etcmanage *and* sysutils/sysbuild without breaking anything. :)

Thanks, again- for clarifying. I am probably okay for everything that I need to accomplish over the next several months. Last year, I totally botched a NetBSD5 system because of misunderstanding *one* sentence from
the output of % ./build.sh -h
