Quite true, and I do like installing MTAs, web servers, DNS stuff, samba 
and a few other things from tarballs, rather than packager systems. But 
it's been a year and a half since I had installed rbldnsd and I quite 
forgot that I must have done it as you outline above. A short note in a 
README or INSTALL file outlining the approach/philosophy would go a long 
way towards cleaning up the confusion.

I did say I was missing something obvious :)
