The templates are stored in the filesystem, in a variety of different
places depending on whether you're talking about the standard
as-shipped language dependent versions, the standard as-shipped
language independent versions, the site-wide language independent
versions, site-wide language dependent versions, list-specific
language independent versions, or list-specific language dependent
versions, and that's just the six different potential combinations
that I can come up with off the top of my head -- I'm pretty sure
that there are some others that I haven't thought of.
How you would pick and choose which specific templates are to be
considered as part of the configuration for a given list would be a
complex subject. Do you copy the site-wide versions or not? If you
do copy them, do you install them in the list-specific locations on
the other end, or do you install them in the appropriate site-wide
location? And what if there are conflicts?
This starts to get real messy, real quick.

Right. My understanding is that templates are not considered part of
a list configuration, and config_list has always seemed to me to be
kind of a quick-n-dirty tool, and never intended to be a
be-all/do-all 1000000% perfect list duplication management system.
