Our 8.0 packs currently have the following symlinks into afs (I don't
know how to forward this for an 80-column screen, so bear with the
long lines):

patch				/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/patch-8.0/i386_nbsd1
etc/master.passwd		/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/config/passwd/i386_nbsd1/master.passwd
etc/athena/gdss_public_key	/afs/net.mit.edu/system/config/gdss_public_key
andrew				/afs/athena.mit.edu/astaff/project/andrew/export/athena-8.0/inbsd
usr/athena/bin/tellme				/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/config/tellme/arch/i386_nbsd1/bin/tellme
usr/athena/etc/update_server			/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/moira/arch/i386_nbsd1/bin/update_server
usr/athena/lib/Dash.menus			/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/config/dash/Dash.menus-8.0
usr/athena/lib/quickstations			/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/config/quick/quickstations

and a pile of man page symlinks for lockers.

I think it's pretty clear that we want to repoint patch at
/afs/sipb.mit.edu.  master.passwd I'm less certain about, but the
general idea I got from Dan is that SIPB would be a better choice to
maintain it.  andrew and tellme I'm not sure about.  update_server is
definitely okay as it is, and quickstations is also probably okay.

One problem with Dash.menus is that our version numbers aren't in sync
with Athena version numbers (and won't be, unless we commit to doing
releases at the same time as IS).  I don't know if we want to get into
the business of maintaining our own Dash menus or not.

Anyway, one more thing to deal with.
