If all of it is contained in the usermod and the usermod is clearly 
documented as to what needs to be done (copying the real source 
into the JCLIN), then I don't see that as a problem.  Operating computers
and related tasks including maintenance, programming, testing, etc. all
require procedures that must be followed to get the desired / correct end
result.    What often lacks is clear concise documentation for the 
procedures.  That is what leads to trouble down the road.
