Looking at commit a4b9392151 for libvirt, I think it=E2=80=99s a trick here=
: we
do pass --sysconfdir=3D/etc, and sysconfdir=3D/tmp/etc is passed only during
the install phase, which I think is a trick to avoid errors while
creating $(sysconfdir).  But /etc is the actual sysconfdir AIUI.

So, WDYT?  :-)
