hi,
i'm packaging a custom config package for standard-client type environment,
and ran into a bit of confusion here. the attached patch might help clarify
for the next person who comes along :)
note also i found a seperate error further up in the documentation that
referred to NNpackage instead of NN_package, which is also fixed in this
patch.

situation (tree of %gconf.xml files) is done in gconf2 2.12.1-5.
