No staying close to upstream as argument al by itself, just like we want to use
the upstream <prefix>/<target> dir for gcc cross compilers amongst other things
to not deviate from upstream. Now if upstream but the config file under /usr/etc
I would the first to say @#$% upstream and move that file to a better place, but
there is _nothing_ wrong with upstream's placing in this case, so why move it
and confuse users?
