Looking a little bit deeper, I noticed the commit on Jan 7 for revision 
1.245 of src/distrib/sets/lists/etc/mi which makes the installation of 
the etc/rc.d/conf file depend on the "nsd" flag.

However, this file is listed unconditionally in /etc/mtree/specials so 
the daily security job will always look for it, and complain if it is 
missing.

Shouldn't the mtree/specials file also be conditional?  Can it be?
