     Umm, there are lots of things in postinstall that aren't required
to make sure the system will boot.  By defacto, postinstall does
everything it can to upgrade a system (the only major things it doesn't
do is create new users and groups).

     The problem with this PR is that it is extremely vague.  Is
postinstall failing to add files, fix them, delete them, or what?  All
we have is a list of files, we don't know what the submitter is
expecting postinstall to do with them.
