My preferred approach is to migrate the building & installation of
all of the stuff that is part of the "release" to distrib/<machine>,
and use the UUDECODE_FILES <bsd.files.mk> variable for binary files.
This is content that ends up in RELEASEDIR rather than DESTDIR.

Stuff under src/sys that is part of a normal "build"
(e.g, bootblocks that are installed in /usr/mdec) can remain there.
