 * Woah! The package system would *never* overwrite anything in /etc.

What I meant here was that:
If we integrate the package into NetBSD and someone does a foolishly
wholesale upgrade of /etc without checking first, something will
get clobbered, but that is the extreme case.  I was under the impression
that the /etc file would get clobbered iff the old one was miraculously
untouched.  I thank you for the correction, and I favour the behaviour
stated.
