That's not necessarily true.  I was always of the opinion that we should
have adopted FreeBSD's convention of putting them in ${PREFIX}/etc - after
all, everything else has its config info there, so why not ssh?

And if the argument about sharing /usr/pkg comes up in relation to that,
just remember that symlinks exist, and ssh isn't the only program that has
the sharing problem with ${PREFIX}/etc .... :>
