The idea floated at BSDCam was to have a package that would install a
pristine copy of the /etc files under /var/db/etcupdate and prompt the
user to then use that tool to update or install their configs. That
should provide a nice compromise between having the files available from
pkgs and not enforcing a specific mechanism (tools, not policy) to
update /etc.
