The 2.x distribution had one particularly nice feature that I'd like to 
see reimplemented in 3.x.  From the looks of it, saving the config 
currently only checks the collection of config files enumerated in 
/var/lib/lrpkg/*.config.

There are times when I need ancillary scripts and crap on the router and 
don't have them in a package format (and don't want them in their own 
separate package), but there's no way to save them between reboots.

For example, when I'm working on tools like the modules building script, 
or if I'm doing some lightweight firewalling and don't want to use 
shorewall, I might just have a simple script in /usr/bin or /etc/init.d 
respectively.

It would be cool if we could have a local.lrp similar to configdb and 
moddb that contained any extra files not explicitly enumerated in the 
loaded packages package lists (obviously excluding /dev and /var and any 
other random generated crap).  We used to have a local.lrp that covered 
everthing in /usr/local, but honestly that was a bit limiting anyway (my 
local stuff inevitably got saved in the 2.x etc.lrp).

If there's no official behavior for this currently (I could be blind, 
I'm cutting over to 3.x at high speed and not reading docs all that 
well), would you mind if I created something?  Do you have opinions 
about how it should behave?
