It does indeed help.  Thanks, everyone.

Is it safe to assume that if additional pre- or post-upgrade
requirments (e.g.: if you *did* have to add the sshd user) will be
included in the announcement or errata?  Or should I read individual
patches applied to -stable for installation instructions, or is
there another place I should be looking when tracking -stable for
such information?  I suspect that doesn't happen often (perhaps
never), but I would like to be thorough.

Regardless of all that, my comment about the find statement
in sec. 3.1.5 is still correct--unless it's really trying to affect
/var/spool/output/output and /var/spool/lpd/lpd.
