10.7.2 Location
---------------

Any configuration files created or used by your package must reside in
‘/etc’.  If there are several, consider creating a subdirectory of
‘/etc’ named after your package.

If your package creates or uses configuration files outside of ‘/etc’,
and it is not feasible to modify the package to use ‘/etc’ directly, put
the files in ‘/etc’ and create symbolic links to those files from the
location that the package requires.
