Sorry about that. Actually this has been discussed at great length in the
upstream bug. Here has been my historical take:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ufw/+bug/728128/comments/1

That said with 0.35 I finally yielded:

ufw (0.35) RELEASED; urgency=medium
 ...
  * move user[6].rules to /etc/ufw (LP: #728128)

In other words, this will be fixed in 0.35-1.
