I don't understand your resistance to having the installer do the editing
instead of the user. This seems like a more general solution that avoids
some potential problems and would be useful in situations where a
magic directory would not (for example, where *some* configuration
is required but easily answered by the user).

The end result seems at least as user-friendly, except perhaps in a few
degenerate cases. What am I missing?
