Yes, this was it! I ran mergemaster again and it seems
that no new /etc/defaults/rc.conf was installed. After installing
the new one (and deleting the ="NO"-ones in /etc/rc.conf) everything
started like before.

Thanks a lot for all the help.

I suppose some of the variation between Boston drivers and the rest of
the country is due to the progressive Massachusetts Driver Education
Manual which I happen to have in my top desk drawer.  Some of the Tips
for Better Driving are worth considering, to wit:

[131.16d]:
	"Directional signals are generally not used except during
vehicle inspection; however, a left-turn signal is appropriate when
making a U-turn on a divided highway."

[96.7b]:
	"When paying tolls, remember that it is necessary to release the
	quarter a full 3 seconds before passing the basket if you are
	traveling more than 60 MPH."

[110.13]:
	"When traveling on a one-way street, stay to the right, so as
not to interfere with oncoming traffic."
