What's an example of a per-package config file?

If such a thing does exist, I'd propose it go under the share
directory that we already have.

I don't see the need for an etc anywhere but /etc.  It's taken us
a decade to get all of our configuration information in one place
(remember how much used to be under /usr/lib?); why start undoing
that work now?
