It's important to note that PKG_SYSCONFDIR is not guaranteed to be under 
PREFIX, so you can never refer to etc/*.

If you set PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR=exabgp and add CONF_FILES or 
CONF_FILES_PERMS entries for each of the files that you want to install 
from the example area, it should work.  Have a look at any existing 
package that uses PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR to see how it's done.
