Got the impression it is somewhat broken now and I think changing my
way would make it less so. OTOH everyone is used to having to override
it.

the file-hierarchy(7) and hier(7) man pages suggest the configuration
files go in not under /etc as I do not consider NTPsec a larger
package. variable state information for programs goes in or under
/var/lib and log files go in /var/log. I should probably take off my
colored glasses though.

Both of those files are Linux-centric on the system where I read them.
I could not find anything POSIX-related and the other source I saw
basically said check AT&T UNIX.

Since you you seem to be against this I will drop it now.
