Description
The current state of using `/usr/etc` for diverted pristine copies of `/etc` content is a problem.
1. [openSUSE uses `/usr/etc`](https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_UsrEtc) which makes bootc fully incompatible with openSUSE.
2. Work done by SUSE to use `/usr/etc` for the vendor layer of configuration is being upstreamed, and that software is incompatible with bootc.
Could we please move this to somewhere else? Perhaps something like `/usr/lib/bootc/pristine-etc` or similar?
