Actually, if I remember correctly, the tcp wrapper library can check a directory in etc as well, so a package like p9100 could create an /etc/hosts.allow.d/p9100 file (don't recall the exact path).
Frankly, though, tcpwrappers is really obsolete and redundant. I realize that some folks wouldn't use ipfilter, but almost everyone else does. Why have tcpwrappers and ipfilter. Make the default to allow.
