When you install a package in your distro, you are not given an opportunity to specify this option. Especially if you use some automation tools for package management. You will have to move the host out of production, upgrade the package, change the init script to use `-c <smth else>` and move the host back in production. If maintainers of the distro packages included that option with different paths for different versions, that would solve the problem. But they will probably forget / not bother to do that. In my opinion, it is safer to change the name "upstream". Thanks, Eugene
