Wow.  Frankly, I think that you have too much stuff in etcskel/common -
also a .mutt subdirectory with many files in it, even though probably
only a minority of accounts will ever run Mutt.

But I don't mind getting .ssh/authorized_keys in, then.

And this reminds me - you're still supposed to update our OpenSSH. ;-)

Thanks!
