I think Jon's right.  Without applying any configuration to broctl, it won't work anyway so the "install" command would need to be run after the user does some amount of configuration.  What could be worthwhile is to give the user some warning when they go to start Bro if they 

a. don't have the generated scripts (broctl-config.sh and the local-nets, etc).
or
b. have changes to their scripts in their site directory that haven't been installed yet.
