I'd suggest /config/ as we already have etc.tar.bz2 there. What if the init.d 
start script extracs /config/etc-dansguarding.tar.bz2 over /etc/ if it finds no 
config directory /etc/dansguardian/. This way only people activating 
dansguardian would have the configfiles in place and others would save the 
space. If I think again it might be better to have some command, eg. 
"extract-config" which expects eg. "dansguardian" (and set $PACKGAE) as command 
line option and then extracts /config/etc-$PACKAGE.tar.bz2 over /etc/. Maybe 
this command checks /etc/sysconfig/config for activated packages and only 
extracts those. A never ending story....
