My position would be -- the system administrator should not have to configure things in /root/ in order to setup a service. Hhat's what /etc/ is for. However, if running this as a service is very esoteric (in most cases this is run at the command line by a user when they're evaluating the security of a network. Very rarely does a system admin want to drop it in a cron job or otherwise use it to constantly monitor the security of their network) then it's okay to leave things in /usr/share/ and have the users put the configuration to run the program in their home directories. In no case should the system administrator change files in /usr/ in order to configure the service.
