That is a policy violation: "/usr is the second major section of the
filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr
should be shareable between various FHS-compliant hosts and must not be
written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is
stored elsewhere."[1]
You likely want to store the templates in /var. Also take care that
updated templates are not overwritten when the package is updated.

The code still doesn't seem to do so.

You can still use quilt to create a patch with a sensible name. Or
follow my second suggestion.
