If you use only /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf (instead of
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/...) you do not need ucf. If you use ucf, you
could use either a single file, or the .d dir and construct the
current file at instasll time.
Indeed, there are so many combinatrions given the three items you
mentioned, that it is more reasonable to treat the first two as
independent options, and select any combination to arrive at the
solution.
