Update:

Following my installation of my "dummy" electrical outlet yesterday, I
learned I like the receptacle box to stick out exactly 1/2" passed the
stud. I went to two different Borgs looking for a small piece of 1/2"
pine or equivalent to use as a sort of fixture--but to my surprise,
there was none in sight (I prefer not to use plywood due to personal
sensitivities to the glue dust, et. al., YMMV).

For "new" electrical installations I prefer to use the depth adjustable
boxes similar to :

Those look handy!

I guess if you think $4.30 for a $.30 box is handy. ;-)
