On reflection I think you're right, it's not clear the inheritance buys much save extra complexity. It was only a flippant comment.
How does it all work if there's a simple list of sources of data in a file in /etc/ where that machine looks for config stuff ? A simple URL probably works well and allows people to distribute config data with existing servers. I suppose one ought to specify a directory, and the package specifies a file(s) within that directory. It seems right that there should be a flexible map between package and area of config space, but I think this issue was discussed in another thread.
