I really what a discussion. You may convince me and Ralf. But give good reasons. AS far as I understand, the FSH does not state that sitewise config files cannot be in /usr, and as far as I understand, the FSH states that sitewise config could not be in /etc (be cause /etc is host specific).
What is wrong with my interpretation?

I believe that site-wide configuration files may be kept under /usr and that this falls within the description of /usr in the FHS. However, as packagers we do not know if admins using our packages will be wanting to configure them on a host-by-host basis or a site-wide basis. Since it's likely that at least some admins are going to want to configure packages on a host-by-host basis, does it not follow that packages should *not* place configuration files under /usr, at least unless such configuration can be overridden by another configuration file elsewhere such as in /etc?
