[openstack-dev] repairing so many OpenStack components writing configuration files in /usr/etc

Hi,

It's about the 3rd time just this week, that I'm repairing an OpenStack
component which is trying to write config files in /usr/etc. Could this
non-sense stop please?

FYI, this time, it's with os-brick... but it happened with so many
components already:
- bandit (with an awesome reply from upstream to my launchpad bug,
basically saying he doesn't care about downstream distros...)
- neutron
- neutron-fwaas
- tempest
- lots of Neutron drivers (ie: networking-FOO)
- pycadf
- and probably more which I forgot.

Yes, I can repair things at the packaging level, but I just hope I wont
have to do this for each and every OpenStack component, and I suppose
everyone understands how frustrating it is...

I also wonder where this /usr/etc is coming from. If it was
/usr/local/etc, I could somehow get it. But here... ?!?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
