 I know that other projects install config files as "sample", but those 
 don't have the concept of .local files. So doing both, .sample and 
 .local, is something like "Gürtel und Hosenträger".
 
 But with the next update I will display a message hinting users at using 
 .local files, as you suggested. I won't do a patch right now, there is 
 no need to push an update for a better message what to do in case of 
 updates ...
 
 
 Best regards and thank you for your feedback
