Well, to mimic standard setup for all other services.

I also think separating vendor-specific parts, such as init scripts,
from upstream parts, such as main daemon configuration, make life easier
for both parts.

It's easier for packagers to provide vendor-specific customisation
without side effects (I'd prefer avoiding to add a
USE_MDV_SPECIFIC_FEATURE_X in autofs configuration). And it avoid
upstream maintainer to provide vendor-targeted switches, such as
--where-do-you-want-the-automount-configuration-to-be-installed, as this
 standard (%sysconfdir).
