This change moves various files that were previously installed into "/etc" (for no good reason) out of "/etc". The problem of installing into "/etc" is, these files are than treated differently by the package manager on upgrade due to them being considered "conffiles". Thus, to simplify the semantics of how these files will be handled on upgrade, it's best to install into directories other than "/etc" when possible, which is what this change does.
