Um, why is this here? Or is this a bug? Obvously this is a no-op
as-is.

^^^^^^^^^
Perhaps this should be: MACHINE=[^\s]* in order to grab whatever
happens to be in the existing MACHINE= category? Otherwise you are
depending on athena-base to have MACHINE=ix86 in it, which certainly
wouldn't work on non-Intel-based platforms.
Other than this, it looks really good.

PS: Why is AFSCLIENT added by the post-install instead of put in by
athena-base? Perhaps this is a question for 'bugs'?
