As I mentioned on IRC, look at trac. The trick is put
configuration files in /etc/munin/, and symlink it back into
/var/lib/munin if munin needs that.

Static non configuration files can live in /usr/{share,lib}/munin,
and be also linked into /var/lib/munin.
This is not a new solution, I think trac and mediawiki have
solved this, I think.
