No, this is only designed to work with the files that are served to
the user:

And this is for translations. Both are ideas how it could be
implemented for config files but it will not work for them now.

This scheme makes sense in some cases:
- Admin overrides a vendor library:
   /usr/local/lib/liberec.so
   /usr/lib/liberec.so
- User overrides an admin config
   ~/.profile
   /etc/profile

For our config files it would be perhaps also useful, but not
necessary, as long as the code works with no config file at all
(which I think it already does).
Then we can use original proposal 2 and move the samples to
/usr/share/doc/packages/$PKG/examples
