Updating to HEAD removes /etc/rc.subr?

So, I have a VM running current which I maintain by building packages.
On doing a routine update, I see the following:

```
codling:~:# etcupdate
Warnings:
  Removed file changed: /etc/rc.d/growfs
  Removed file changed: /etc/rc.subr
```

Looks like there were quite a lot of changes in the packaging layout
between the last time I updated (Git says: b31afabd4c1-c262274(master))
and yesterday when I pulled the latest source from git.  One of those
changes is that there seems to be a new FreeBSD-rc base package:

```
codling:/usr/src:# pkg install FreeBSD-rc
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/meta.txz: No address
record
repository FreeBSD has no meta file, using default settings
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
Updating base repository catalogue...
base repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
	FreeBSD-rc: 13.0.s20190920215733 [base]

Number of packages to be installed: 1

Proceed with this action? [y/N]: y
[1/1] Installing FreeBSD-rc-13.0.s20190920215733...
[1/1] Extracting FreeBSD-rc-13.0.s20190920215733: 100%
```

Unfortunately it didn't get installed as part of the routine update.

Easily fixed (as above), but now I'm wondering what other packages I
should have installed but don't.  Is there a meta-port or some such that
will ensure my FreeBSD system has all the essentials needed to boot?

	Cheers,

	Matthew
