If you dig into the archives you shall see I bought this up some time ago. I poked Havoc and he admitted /etc is the wrong location, and thinks that /usr/share is the best place. However, changing that now can break any apps, so hopefully he'll fix it in GConf 3 (whatever that will be). > Is there some "uninstall" function for gconf schemas?

It's part of my grand scheme to finish dh_gconf to support uninstalling schemas on purge, and get this into debhelper. Then the GNOME CDBS rules can call it like they do already with dh_scrollkeeper, and everything works! Yay! I'll try and finish dh_gconf today and file a wishlist bug with debhelper.
