Yes.  Even if it simply copied from /samples any files in a supplied
list that weren't otherwise previously installed in /etc.

I took a small unscientific sample (my manager, who has a strong
UNIX background).  He found it astonishing that any UNIX(-like)
installation doesn't supply /etc/magic.  That file is distinctive in
that it's rarely customized at any installation.  Similar should apply
to /etc/services, the customary "make" rules file, inetd.conf, ...

The idea should be to get a generic system working as well as
possible, then customize it.
