Hmm. Doing it this way will spam any local configuration changes someone
may make after installation when they upgrade to a new version..are there
any other settings it is likely people may want to set in the orbitrc
file?
What may be better is to make those settings the default policy, and then
install an orbitrc.sample showing how to override them and only remove
that file, not orbitrc.
