Well, we were just talking about this on IRC since I brought up
preferring /etc/trac.ini as well, although unfortunately there doesn't
seem to be a nice way to handle this with distutils, so it can't be
handled in a portable manner.  So, for now I think it will need to be up
to the packagers to relocate the file as necessary for their
distribution.
