To allow packages to provide configuration snippets. Packages work at the file level, they provide sets of files. When a package needs to provide a configuration snippet, for example when it provides a plugin for another software, it does so by providing a file. When the package is upgraded, the normal handling of configuration files can be applied. Modifying a monolithic configuration file would be much more fragile. Regards, -- Nicolas George
