/usr/local/etc to find a config file for many packages. Yes it's not like
Debian, but to look in so many different places for each package, it's time
consuming and hard to remember which packages store the config in which
location. I can understand /etc and /etc/srvconfg (can't remember exactly)
because they are around the same location in the file system. If there has
been uniformity, it wasn't enforced very well.
