I see two possible action courses for this bug: a) Create a separate bug for each package that puts binaries under /etc. This would raise the attention of the package maintainers; a generic "ubuntu" bug is seldom properly looked at.
b) Modify the packaging tools to not allow put binaries under /etc in the first place. Even some lintian warnings would help In any case, this is not a bug, but an improvement to ubuntu [1]. Closing.
