Can anyone think of a reason not to change etc's distrib-dirs rule to
   invoke mtree with -N ${.CURDIR}? (Luke added this recently and lets an
   alternate pw/group file set than the ones in /etc guide mtree).
   
   This would remove the annoying "don't have ntpd in my 1.5 password file when
   attempting to cross build" bugs.


sounds sane.
