Build my 1.2 System yesterday and it seems like the metalog package installs the metalog.conf to /etc/metalog/metalog.conf instead of /etc/metalog.conf, as its supposed to be according to the metalog-documentation.
True. We also patch metalog.h so that metalog will read metalog.conf from /etc/metalog/metalog.conf. I hacked the man page to point to /etc/metalog/metalog.conf, so we're locally consistent.
