I have the feeling that you want to somehow replace GConf by something
else being configured manually using these files. There is no benefit in
doing it this way, and I’m not going to encourage an underhanded fork of
GConf.

This looks like an acceptable ideas, comments are always better.

By default, packages with a dot in their name will ship a file with a
dot in its name. So in this state the patch is not acceptable.
