mergemaster never borks anything unless you tell it to. :) That said,
there was a window of a couple days when a patch I did recently to
prompt a user to remove _stale_ files in /etc/rc.d/ could give false
positives, and therefore recommend that you remove files that should
stay around. Make sure you've updated to the latest sources, the bug has
been fixed for a while now.
