dhcpd.leases and rough edges in a fresh install

[Tyler Retzlaff <rtr%omicron-persei-8.net@localhost>]

hi folks,

this isn't critical at all and i'm not sure of whether or not we
even care to do anything about it. but i've notice it almost every
time I bring up a new server running dhcpd.

after installing a fresh netbsd system I usually bring up dhcpd. so
I configure rc.conf and run /etc/rc.d/dhcpd start and I always see:

/etc/rc.d/dhcpd: WARNING: /var/db/dhcpd.leases is not readable.

and then knowing from past experience what is going on I immediately
touch /var/db/dhcpd.leases

* first of all the message isn't quite right. it is true it isn't
  readable but only because it doesn't exist.
* second in the name of user-experience without rough edges I
  think having to manually touch this file is a minor but
  unecessary step.

I know this is very trivial.  do we care? is there a reason why
we don't just install an empty dhcpd.leases or create it if it
isn't found as a part of the rc script or <insert your favorite
solution here>?

comments?

of course i've spent more time writing this mail then I ever
will running touch /var/db/dhcpd.leases each time this happens
but that isn't the point.
