Ok. Is it required for machines which are not quite homogeneous ? Or will
we still be ok without it ?

The reason why I wouldn't want to do this, is so that the package can be
installed without any interaction. This makes it easy to just apt-get 
across the cluster.

I'm not sure if FAI etc. are used to build clusters yet, in which case
setting up mosix.map during installation would make sense. However, if
there's a good way to set it up, without interaction required on every
machine, I'm willing to try it out. 
Currently, I thought that simply putting mosix.map manually on every node
was the easiest thing to do, which is why I just provide an empty template
in the package.
