Hi,
Just thinking outload here as dealing with some packages where stuff in
/etc was marked in the spec as %config and it really shouldn't be (I'm
thinking dbus policy files and rootcerts mainly but there are do doubt
countless other examples where this is true also).

I was thinking, is it a general stated aim that we should be able to
boot with an empty /etc? I know this isn't true today, but with

That's not really true, as any consumer of those files should go through
getpwname() and similar functions. And glibc implementation of those functions
could be made
