I still think it's a bad idea to inject such values in code. Even with
typical distutils install, you have to respect the prefix which was
provided with code, and if you'll have several installations in your
system, this can lead to some problems. For example, you can install
Keystone with packages and then install it with "setup.py develop
--user" to do some hacking. Then when you run your binary from .local,
you'll get no error but wrong template will be used. The same kind of
problem can occur if you run keystone without any installation or for
testing, etc.

'/etc'-based defaults should be nothing more but a recommended defaults
for packagers or a part of sample config file.
