I think it might be useful to consider this upstream as well.

+1 for maintaining a universal server.conf that can be further tweaked by the 
distributors and/or administrators.

I don't think it has any real value as a ./configure option. The server config 
is just one file that can be easily copied over by a specfile command line (or 
similar). It might be useful to install the file, though. It might be disabled 
by file name (e.g. .sample suffix) or by location (e.g. documentation 
directory).

Although it's possible to build seprate server/client packabes, it doesn't seem 
to be overly useful. On the other hand, separate packages with just the 
configuration files/defaults might be handy and a distribution that would like 
to do that will just copy *all* such configuration files and put them in 
subpackages.

Sounds like a useful default for specific class of usage. I, personally, would 
prefer the server to react on carrier at least when using DHCP. So this might 
actually be an area where we as developers don't know yet whether it is 
preferable and by which groups of people.
