No, since these are things you want to be able to manage on a per image
basis, not distro wide. I don't want to create a whole 'new' distro just
to try mdev instead of udev or use tinylogin instead of shadow, etc.
When we made that change we discussed what the default values for those
vars should be and it was agreed they should provide sane defaults.
