I does not understand how special it is to allow wrong informations in
its contents.
I did not wrote about ${PREFIX} but ${DESTDIR} wich are different
macros with different semantics. DESTDIR is, for example, a chroot
jail or a NFS mounted system. Updating /etc/shell is an Bad Thing in
all case when DESTDIR is defined and is not "/".
According /usr/share/mk/bsd.README :
The variable DESTDIR works as before. It's not set anywhere but will change
the tree where the file gets installed.
According /usr/src/etc/Makefile, /etc/shells is not special
in the FreeBSD source tree :
BIN1= ... shells ...
distribution:
...
${INSTALL} -c -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP} -m 644 ${BIN1} ${DESTDIR}/etc;
...
