As an example I'm familiar with iproute2 moved it's default config from

patching or symlink trickery would be required to make the package
conformant to this convention.
I've tried arguing this is a blatant disregard of policy but that fell on
deaf ears so far.
How is that against policy?
Is it against policy to have default config values hardcoded in a
binary? Why things change if these hardcoded values are moved to a
read-only file in /usr? (The user/admin configuration is still in /etc.)
