I'd like to add my vote here to keep debian similar to "a standard linux
system", whatever that is... One of the big turn-offs for me about Red
Hat is how they've moved all sorts of stuff into /etc/sysconf, which is
similar to what's being implied in this discussion.
Please, let's not do things "because that's what Policy dictates". If
it's clearly against common practice, then clearly Policy is broken in
that aspect.
