The build process does not install files which are generically
considered "configuration files".
Those are installed using a different target called "distribution".
However that distribution concept carries everything from this file
"which could be edited by someone" to the password file ... so you
do not want to run this by hand.
Basically the build processes matches what we do:
1) rebuild our system binaries as we move forward
2) build snapshots
It obviously has no support specifically for what you want. If
such support was added, I bet it would rot very fast indeed.
