well, why not?
It's the only vendor specific stuff I could think of (now that we have 
this new libdir), and it's required for upset, which might be handy for 
package authors to test their setup.hint and provide a local distro.

Because one might be too lazy to find out the CVSROOT and it would be 
nice to have a versioned and stable release of them besides the CVS 
versions. setup is also a package.

A seperate package would make more sense indeed. well, oh well.
