This makes sense for hooks for example, but not for the main
configuration file.

Look more closely at the systemd example: It has units in
/usr/lib/systemd/{system,user} and they are overridable in /etc.
However, the system.conf, login.conf, ... files are _only_ in
/etc/systemd/ and nowhere in /usr/lib/.

Actually, the gnupg folder should go to /var/lib/pacman/gnupg/ (and
should always have been there).
