I'm assuming either Gene created it himself, because he thought he needed
to, or his non-Debian installer created it, for reasons only the maintainer
of said installer would know.

Having that file on a non-NIS system doesn't actually hurt anything.
I advised Gene to remove his in order to avoid confusion.  We can all
do with less of that.
