Beside the point that such a client could've been trojanized, I would
point out that I have been in situations where this would not have been
feasible.

This is a policy issue. If I wanted "off by default", I would either do a
manual install, or I would go for OpenBSD. If you really need to do this,
why not simply add a package which extracts files in /etc and so forth,
which could do these things?

Didn't I hear someone mutter "tools, not policy" a while back? This would
seem to me to be such an issue.
