Ah, I see now that the actual make install is trying to do this.
I see there is a configure flag for this:
--enable-conf-install enable install of sample .conf files in
sysconfdir (default: yes)
Allow me to run this by you:
1. So I need to set --enable-conf-install=no which also implies
I need to override src_compile
2. And then after the build, override pkg_postinst to copy the sample
config files into /etc
Does this sound right or is there a better (preferred?) way?
