This file is installed by libasound2. It ist placed in the share,
because alsa-utils and alsa-plugins are looking for that library
configuration file. This file should not be customized. You are
right: Config files have to be in /etc. But in that case it is a
"information file" for other packages und must be shared. You can
discuss this with the alsa developers, but they won't change though.

I'll tag this bug as wontfix till you agree to close the bug.
