No, not roles/*. ~/.mr/templ/.mrconfig only says ~/.mr/*.

I symlink from ~/.mr/roles/* to ~/.mr/ and store those symlinks in
each account's git repository.

That was from a time when mr moved so fast that I needed a local
checkout. Nowadays, the Debian package probably will do.

I find single-file approaches too limiting, and they will get out of
control quickly if you have more than a handful accounts.
