Have a look at the mozilla and tetex packages from Debian/sarge. As far 
as I know they use such <configfile>.d directories also and if I am 
right, the files are genereated to /var... and THAT is the directory 
where they load all config files from. Not genereated config files are 
symlinks from /etc to this dir.

By the way, as vdr "regenerates" channels.conf and setup.conf (did I 
miss some files), maybe these files should also be stored in /var... 
Doesn't FHS also imply that /etc could be read-only? The only "daemon" I 
 also know of generation "his" config file is swat from samba. All 
other daemons I use open their config files read-only. Maybe we can make 
vdr more convinient in that way too?
