[Bug 234926] Re: logwatch missing conf files

[bradleee]

The logwatch package installs an empty directory tree under
/etc/logwatch/ that mirrors the tree at /usr/share/logwatch/distr.conf/
but without any files.  The /etc/logwatch/ directory is meant to provide
a space to supplement the default dist.conf settings.  However, most
other packages install their defaults in /etc/packagename/, hence the
confusion with the empty directories.  I think the logwatch package
should be updated to install its dist.conf files in /etc/ so that its
default configuration files are easily findable and changeable by Ubuntu
users who are used to all (most) .conf files actually in use to reside
in /etc/.  I am not a packager (yet) but would be happy to learn how to
contribute by making these location changes if pointed in the right
direction.
