That's the best bet.  The big reason for Debian/Ubuntu doing it that way is 
so, when you upgrade the package, your local changes don't get clobbered.  
It's also a good idea to read through all the defaults that Debian provides.  
There are some gotchas with some of their default entries.  Not that I can 
remember them off hand.  (err: host jon OOM pid 0)

In my case, I copied 15-av_scanners.conf to 45-av_scanners.conf and updated 
that one.  If Debian/Ubuntu updates 15-av_scanners, all my edits are 
preserved and I have the distribution version there as well.

Thanks,
Jon
