In the case of foo.conf for foo, this is a reasonable approach.

There are however many files in etc/ that do not fit that model.

IMO one of the nice things about the BSD src tree, is that the location
of a file in the src tree can generally be inferred from its installed
location on the system.
This property should not be lost without substantial countervailing
benefit.
