Hi,

the line in /usr is there by default (in package) and is not applied,
until I copy it to /etc. that's the strange part.

I don't know wether there exists policy for packaging concerning modifying paths, but I'd find it reasonable to change this. However, if debian packages differ from upstream here, that would definitely necessitate documentation.
