'config file' is really a bit simplistic, and doesn't really describe
the situation adequately. Whether something is a config file or not
depends a lot on your role. As I mentioned earlier, we have a package
that installs files in /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d,
those are certainly not config files in the sense that you as a local
administrator are supposed to edit them.
Agreed, but I as the administrator would need to configure things
in /var/lib/polkit-1 in order to customize the settings. This is usually
done in /etc and called "configuration".
And 20-org.d, 30-site.d don't
really fit into the 'host-specific configuration data' bucket either.
Not really sure about 20-org.d and 30-site.d because after reading the
manpage I still don't fully understand the meanings of "the organization
deploying the system" (GNOME, KDE, Xfce? My company?) and "site
deploying the system" (what does "site" mean in this context?).
Anyway, I think we both agree that 50-local.d definitely contains
"host-specific configuration data", do we?
