By discussion with Peter this is version independent file. It means there is no
reason to have different directory. I prefer /etc/postgres, but see my comments
bellow.

ARC case is one problem. But main reason is to be sync with S10 packages. It is
why I have been thinking to postpone this to the 8.4 integration. We cannot
change it for S10. Only what I can do is correctly set --syconfigdir to /etc.

I was only example that there is not consensus how to do it.
