Seems almost like an abuse of a local.d?
Yeah if you add the gnutls-glib-networking.config file in the RPM, that defeats the point IMHO, as it'll never fallback to use @SYSTEM if this file always exists with @GLIBNETWORKING defined in it. The idea of the mechanism was that apps/libs build with @MYNAME,SYSTEM priority but never define @MYNAME themselves, so it gives the local sysadmin to customize the app/lib in isolation if they so wish, but out of the box still respects @SYSTEM.
