As far as I've seen, a properly coded .list file ensures
that any directory and/or files in my .list file won't get
backed up by other packages like local.lrp.  Isn't that the
case?  My pfw.lrp lives entirely under /usr/local and doesn't
get backed up in local.lrp.

I've seen Charles discuss the deficiences of the .list file.
After reading that, I'm glad I don't make full distros for fun.

'which' is always going to be a popular command :)
