Or correctly make it:
	ln -sf /usr/sbin/rmt ${DESTDIR}/etc/rmt

and move this command to /usr/src/etc/Makefile distribution: target.

Actually I am thinking along the lines that we should possible add
the target install_etc: to the various Makefile's that want to drop stuff
in /etc and have /usr/src/etc/Makefile do call backs to the other
Makefiles with something like this:

ETC_MAKEFILES=	share/termcap usr.sbin/rmt ...

distribution:
	...
	for i in ${ETC_MAKEFILES}; do \
		cd ${.CURDIR}/../$i; \
		${MAKE} install_etc; \
	done
	...

With this in place we could almost empty /usr/src/etc., config files
would be back with the sources that use them (more likely to keep up
to date that way).
