They should be in /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config anyway.  
At present /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config is a symlink of 
/etc/texmf/dvips

It might be technically difficult to split them in two
directories because some of them were generated by updmap.

Also, the decision on which files should be in /etc would
be very difficult.  They all are, at least theoretically, 
customizable files.
