Umm... yes, but /etc/login.conf is "created" by the release build process.
Therefore, it makes sense to create /etc/login.conf.db at the same time,
just like /etc/[s]pwd.db are created from master.passwd. Why would you
want to replicate this process hundreds of thousands of times when users
install freebsd, rather than once when the release is built?
