IMHO I think the folder change is not a good idea. The /usr/share folder is supposed to be under package manager control, not user control. I think overriding packaged configurations do belong in /etc. The current package (with this bug fixed) fits my use case perfectly and I think it also fits the Debian way of configuring software. An override config file should have higher priority than shipped config ofcourse.
