Well, strictly speaking, that's not what I said, and I'm kind of
disappointed with your paraphrase, since it glosses over some
pertinent data.

What I said was that I wasn't inclined to issue a new package (after
having gone through two quick revisions) because:
1) the particular placement in question didn't seem to be explicitly
forbidden in the FSSSTND,
2) it was the default for the upstream package, and in view of #1, it
seemed an unnecessary incompatibility,
3) the original author was going to be taking over the package in the
very near future, so I wasn't the one who needed to be convinced,
anyway.
Mike vS has I believe already released a new version that does in fact
move some or all of that information back to /etc.
Just so I don't end up coming off as an utter intransigent wherever
the FSSSTND is concerned.
Mike.
