No master.passwd and group file in FreeBSD-runtime package

[Martin Jakob]

While experimenting with jails and pkgbase (you can read about it here:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pkgbase/2019-April/000431.html),
i noticed that the files master.passwd and hosts are not included in the
FreeBSD-runtime package. So, in my case the created jail does not start
correctly.
The package is prepared for processing the master.passwd file, by calling
the pwd_mkdb command internaly, but this fails because the files are not there.
A FreeBSD-runtime package modified by me, to include these two files,
results in a working jail.

My question is, are there reasons to exclude the master.passwd and group files
from the package? Maybe to prevent problems when performing a pkg upgrade run
on the system?
