228	Should this bard fail instead of just being a warning?
1913	To avoid ambiguity with an output file that `etcupdate build` places into a tree.

usr.sbin/etcupdate/etcupdate.sh
228	If one day the build stops producing the file we chose as a sentinel and nobody updates `etcupdate`, failing here would prevent `etcupdate` from running for no good reason. Not failing here, however, simply leads to failing in `make installetc` a little while later. Since the output goes to the log, the warning remains visible on the console when that happens.
