I think it's a feature. RELENG_3, as of this morning, does the
same thing for a new install, except that the file exists but is
empty except for the "...just the overrides..." header.
For an `upgrade' install it copies _all_ of the old rc.conf
values into the new one, advertising them as just the overrides.
