I see that FreeBSD 13 and later include the /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group files in the FreeBSD-runtime package. As far as I can tell this was not previously the case. This is proving to be a problem, since installing FreeBSD-runtime on an existing system (during an upgrade from 12.3 to 13.1) obliterates all existing user entries. That wouldn’t be terrible, if I could figure out how to modify the `make packages` processing to exclude those files, and let `etcupdate` handle them. So far I’ve had no luck with that. Can anyone point out what code is pulling those files into the package?
