Hi,
Using etckeeper since recently, I noticed the following change:
diff --git a/wicd/wireless-settings.conf b/wicd/wireless-settings.conf
index 469c425..d4d9e48 100644

… which indicates clearly that wicd uses the /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf
as a state file, dynamically modifying values under /etc/ depending on
external conditions.
AFAIK, this violates FHS; such state files must be under /var/run or /var/lib,
not under /etc.
Cheers,
