Maybe passwd(1) should have a destdir option so if you want to update ~/config/etc/master.passwd in git/hg/cvs then you can do passwd -D ~/config/etc agc or something and it will use ~/config/etc/passwd.conf instead of /etc/passwd.conf to determine localcipher? I don't think it is generally reasonable to require all /etc defaults to work out of the box in all supported past releases -- better to find ways to improve configuration management than to put such a restriction on base.
