I think the traditional fix is to have a post install script that checks the 
old location and moves/copies it to the new location. If this can be done 
during a period where the config file is not getting features added, its more 
likely to not cause any problems.

Also note that any change in location of important files is likely to affect SE 
Linux labeling. Policy may have to get adjusted and you might need to 
coordinate the change so both get pushed out at the same time.
