According to the FHS[1] (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard), "The /usr/local
hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software
locally", so by default DMD should probably be installed there (and give a nice
and simple option in the makefile to let the package maintainers change that to
/usr, probably using the well known "prefix" variable).
Anyway, even when things installed in /usr/local could have their config files
in /etc directly, it is recommended to use /usr/local/etc instead, in case you
want to install a local version of a program already installed as a package.
DMD should then look for dmd.conf in /usr/local/etc before looking in /etc.
