I would suggest using the package tools I ported to NetBSD to handle the
bulk of installing files & such--it can run a script at install and
deinstall time, or it could leave a script in some place to be run
manually (the latter might better handle the idempotency feature of
Greg's script).
AFS distributions (both internal and external to MIT) that I set
up already use these tools.
The installation packages should be either/both PGP signed and BETSI
signed.
re: sendmail. Granola's current sendmail is basically a client
workstation sendmail.cf; it shouldn't be too hard to convert it to allow
local delivery as well.
