The installed location of the files doesn't change, only their location in the source tree. It does seem that share/examples has not been handled to date, as they probably belong in the same package as the thing they are samples of. I really wish that the Makefiles were smart enough to use .PATH or some such to reach over into ${SRCTOP}/etc to find the files without requiring them to actually move in the tree since it's not very intuitive where to find many of these files now. (And the source locations are starting to no longer mimic the layout on the host, such as syslog.d being "flattened".) -- John Baldwin
