Comment 8 for bug 570812

BTW, I've seen some patches go by upstream that modify the location we look for files like the master prefs. Independently of how you package it, it'd be nice if you pushed patches upstream (or at least started bugs uptream) to fix paths like these when you think our default behavior is wrong. (I agree this file belongs in /etc; I was informed recently that even google-chrome, which follows FHS and lives in /opt, ought to be putting its conffiles in /etc/opt/ according to FHS.)
