In the context of packaging, a package has code and other RO resources,
and then there are config files that according to hier(7) and ancient
tradition from BSD belong in etc.   And changeable files that belong in
/var/db or /var/log, which is usually spelled $prefix/var/PKGNAME within
packaging.   So the place the skins and weewx.conf goes is etc, which is
different from where the db belongs which is varlike

pip has its own opinions but that's basically a bug to work around as
the world is not python; all per-language helpers need to play nice with
the larger packaging ecosystem.
