There's a real need to change the definition of conffiles
then.
Because having not configuration files like READMEs in /etc is not
useful and in fact causes lots of problems.
The definition of conffiles I'd like to use would be:
A conffile is a file where the user changed anything from system
default.
With this definition READMEs and keybinding standard data files should
be in /usr since the user didn't change them from the default.
