I'm not sure I understand your suggestion. You want "rc.subr" to parse
"/etc/mk.conf"? What happens when the user installs a binary package?
I don't see how that's necessary. Once you get it down to only having
one line in "/etc/rc.conf" to edit per daemon, it just doesn't get any
easier.

I'm with you on "/etc/rc.conf.d", by the way. All we need are a few
examples in "rc.conf", and some scripts for which the pkgsrc version
is kept in sync with the base version, and the user can figure it out.
