Well the in-tree static sample .conf still exists on stable/icehouse:

  https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer/blob/stable/icehouse/etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf.sample

However, we may well end up backporting the removal in order to
keep the build there consistent with master, in which case you could 
revert to generating dynamically off stable/icehouse as proposed.
