But on the other hand, packaged things should 'just work' and have
reasonable defaults done for you. I'd think it would be a reasonable
compromise for a package designed for web management to allow access
to its own configuration even while the rest of /etc is protected.
That's what we have come to expect when the protections were just by
uid/gid.
