Do you plan to also fix ca. 1000 other packages in repositories that
ship files in /etc/?

It's a valid question though.

Because I'm talking about the general process of changes that have been
done and not particular revision. Even if everything looks fine now,
it's still something that should have been sent to arch-dev-public as a
heads up instead of discussing it here only because I expressed concerns
on the bug tracker after the party was over (especially given that you
are hard to catch on IRC).
