No, that would be a policy violation. The FHS requires that all
configuration files be in /etc.

Files outside of /etc may sometimes be marked as *conffiles*. This does
not mean they're configuration files. In one case I'm familiar with,
the conffile was a multi-megabyte database for a MOO.

It does not make sense for etckeeper to add these files to /etc, when
policy already says they must not be configuration files.
