They are not.  But it's a basic rule, for files which perhaps could be
modified, that packaging systems shouldn't overwrite the user's
changes.  Of course, for hot-patching things by "emacs
/usr/pkg/bin/foo", it will.  But rc.d scripts are a little iffy.

Souunds good.  Maybe the next person will actually even look there!
