I would argue the correct place is /etc/rpm.repos.d since it is not data but rather config information. If the enable argument was specified outside of the repo information, then I could see the repo information being considered data, but as it is, the appropriate place seems, /etc/rpm.repos.d As far as anything more generic, like packages.repos.d or disto.repos.d, I think that would only be appropriate if the file suffix was changed from .repo to .rpm so any other potential repo types could be stored there. But that opens the door to which package owns the directory and that directory already gets cluttered, so it's best to keep them separate.
