The /etc directory is for system configuration files.  The
$PGDATA/postgresql.conf file is a database cluster configuration file.

The RPM set only allows one database cluster per system, so it's
appropriate to think of this database cluster as "the" system database
cluster, and of the associated configuration file as "the" system
configuration file.  But since the RPM set creates this situation it is
only fitting that the RPM set resolve this situation.  For example, it
would be trivial to symlink the file /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
to somewhere in /etc.
