No.

Oh, sorry, no the aideinit was never run because I either somehow
skipped or missed the questions about initialzing aide and did it by
hand.  I am right now trying an aide run after previously purging aide,
and rebooting a few times (i.e. normal daily on/off), so aideinit is
running now (or rather aide is running I believe from aideinit through
debconf).  I'll let you know how that does.
