Of course. I was thinking more to its size (to ease donwload, etc..),
but this is more important.

See my answer to Chris for this.
Anything doable in user $HOME goes with post install scripts.
daemon config stuff, probably still doable (first release at least) as
said in that message (sounds less work/ stuff to download/maintain/etc)
Eventually, of course, if we can *easily* convince the rpm packager that
our idea of default is the Right One, that's the best thing. Otherwise,
if the only tweak needed is a different .conf file, why don't just do
(and document!!) that after install? Why double RPMs! ?
