That could be an option too. But since mountcrit* do exist, and since,
IMHO, it is more simple, still for an administration point of view, to
have everything put under /etc, and clearly segregate from NetBSD
provided base, and other additions.

Furthermore, pkgsrc provided rc.d/ scripts should probably take into
account the fact that they, obviously, need to run once the binaries
are available, i.e. use the rc keywords to ensure the correct order.
