I think you can try to do it systemd way: keep the default configuration in /usr/lib, and leave /etc for local user configuration which overrides the default config.Not sure how good is this idea, I hope others can comment on this.For myself, I find this a very bad behavior:
ACK.
- etckeeper cannot track the evolution of the config files- if I 'modify' a file by putting another one in /etc that overrides the default one in /usr, when the default will change I won't be notified - when I want to look at the config of the software, I've to "merge" two files or even two directories (one in /etc and one in /usr)
Also, how I am supposed to know that I can customize /etc/foobar.conf if /etc/foobar.conf doesn't even exist?
