A lock file in /etc? What is that precisely? Shouldn't that be in
/run? (i.e. locks are runtime concepts typically, hence should neither
be in /etc/ not in /var/.

I think it would be best to put a comment in each saying something
like:
# This file is autogenerated by foo, do not edit. Use foo --regenerate
# to modify, see foo(1) for details.
at the top of each file, and not hide them.
Hiding stuff is mean. Might be fine for temporary files, but not for
stuff that actually matters. Might be OK in $HOME too, maybe, but
otherwise, please don't hide stuff.
