On a system with gnome from sid /etc/gconf is 34 MiB in size. Is there a
strong reason why all that data is in /etc as opposed to /usr/share or
/var/lib? I understand that this is where upstream puts it...
Thank you,

As of version 2.10.1-2, GConf can now use only /etc for its own
configuration, and for system administrator defaults.
There are a few remaining packages putting their schemas
in /etc/gconf/schemas, and bugs were reported against all of them.
There are still many packages shipping their defaults
in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults, but all they need is a rebuild using
debhelper >=3D 4.9.8.1. Please file bug reports against these packages if
you feel it is appropriate.
