But it would add a nastiness, mutt'll complain on every time start if
you did not generate /etc/Muttrc.local
| Error in /etc/Muttrc, line 126: /etc/Muttrc.local: No such file or directory
| source: errors in /etc/Muttrc
| Press any key to continue...

Having a default empty /etc/Muttrc.local is ugly.
