Thinking about it,

# get the user customisations
import_user_overrides("$USEROVERRIDES_DIR/$DAEMON");

should better be

# get the user customisations
import_user_overrides("/etc/defaults/$DAEMON");

as this gives the admin a clear hint which file to use to override
variables. In the first case, he would have to hunt down the
$USEROVERRIDES_DIR variable. And this is something I wouldn't want to
do. 

I think this has greater value than easily handling the
once-in-a-centry event of moving the defaults directory somewhere
else.
