| | Bug 97447 wants a logrotate USE flag, which is used by about five |
| 7 |
| | packages locally. Unless there are any objections, I'll globalify it |

| 11 |
| package to get some files that go in /etc? Either install them |
| 12 |
| unconditionally or don't install them at all. |

Files in /etc are expensive in terms of sysadmin time. The only things |
| 15 |
in /etc should be things that are both necessary and likely to be |
| 16 |
modified by a sysadmin. |
