Unfortunately, the path /etc/jed.conf is "hardcoded" into the upstream
release, changing it would introduce one more Debian-specific patch (and
incompatibility with original documentation ...).

OTOH, /etc/jed-init.d/ is defined in /etc/jed.conf and could be "moved"
to a more sensible place. However I do not know of a more sensible place,
as 

     /etc/jed-init.d/
     /etc/jed/jed-init.d/
     
would clearly be no improvement.

Sincerely
