I haven't looked closely to the reasons that make this package provide files in this place, but you're of course aware that rootskel-gtk is a udeb-only package? It creates a link from /usr/local/etc to /etc and that's about all. From the changelog entries, there were many such symlinks in the past and they got progressively removed while other udebs such as libgtk+2.0-directfb0 were no longer needing them. Maybe that symlink is no longer needed as well? Frans might tell. Still, I don't think this deserves an RC bug given the udebness of the package.
