I do not see /usr/local/conf or /usr/local//keys in the FHS:

    https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html

Look in Section 4.9:

    Directory	Description
    bin         Local binaries
    etc         Host-specific system configuration for local binaries
    games       Local game binaries
    include     Local C header files
    lib         Local libraries
    man         Local online manuals
    sbin        Local system binaries
    share       Local architecture-independent hierarchy
    src         Local source code

My path is from the FHS.  Since we are storing the master keys, it seemed
liked "keys" was good enough.  Maybe you prefer: "masterkeys.conf"?

I'm don't care that much if there is something better.
