These are security notices and should not be bypassed when people are sysinstalling packages. The reason why the install scripts are written to skip the questions when PACKAGE_BUILDING is defined is because we know that these are just for packages and people will be asked questions later when they try to install the packages. I still think either sysinstall should be fixed or we need to find another way to keep these off Jordan's CDs. Actually, thinking about it, won't using sysinstall for an ftp install pull all the packages down anyway? In that case it's not even a matter of keeping them off CD's.
