that is just qmail and the other MTA related crap that does that. the
other dns stuff really wants to go into /service (publicfile is very
similar)
the debian packager gets around that by using the qmail-src package that
then builds a FHS compliant qmail .deb. there are still symlinks from
/var/qmail/* to where the files really live. this provides the
compatibility with those that ``know'' that rcpthosts is in the
/var/qmail/control dir, and not the /etc/qmail dir
