So imho we should put an example in /doc, or a fully-commented-out
config file in /etc (apache/dovecot/postfix do that, IIRC)

It doesn't really matter to me which one we do, though because we
decided to print the "defaults config file" source at mkfs time, printing
that for a file which does nothing is a bit of a surprise.  From
that perspective, I guess /doc sounds a little better to me.
