> the reason for most of the .d/ type directories is for distros to drop
in binary packages without editing files. That type of reasoning is not a
major consideration for a system like LFS.

I would disagree with the last statement, I've always disliked the
following syntax used in BLFS:
{{{
cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF"
# Begin addition for foo
/opt/foo/lib
# End addition for foo
EOF
}}}
All my opinion of course, but the result of the above is a little sloppy
looking, and *.d directories are a major improvement in aesthetics and
usability, with only a very minor bump in complexity (and even that is
debatable as modular files logically organize into smaller to digest bits
for the user to understand).
