        Well, site specific config files, I guess. There are
 somesettings common to a site (nntp servers, dns servers, nis, et al
 -- not that I am saying these file belong in /usr/share, I am saying
    that site specific config values do exist, and are the same for
    all debian macines on that site).

        I agree. Perhaps a /etc/share?
