Summary: Very poor configuration design

Initial Comment:
The way configure is setup it seems to assume that you
are building mailman ON the box you will be installing it.

This is a terrible design decision. Make for creating
packages a total nightmare.

Forcing a package builder to add entries into
/etc/passwd and /etc/group, is another bad design decision.

Forcing a package builder to have all the directories
setup and proper permissions during build it a another
bad design decision.
