I've added the disttag, but I disagree with 2)
The packaging guidelines don't mandate that every config file needs to be in /etc
The files in /usr/share/hwdata/ are config files and should be labeled as such.

They can't be moved to /etc without breaking lots of other packages which need
to read from those files. I'd like to avoid using a symlink as 
a) packages using the /usr/share/hwdata will break when /usr isn't mounted and
   they check only for files, not for directories
b) if I need to revert that later it'll be almost impossible with rpm as rpm 
   can't replace symlinks with directories.
