As it's a configuration file it _has_ to go to /etc. At least for a
debian package.

Hmm, I think the global configuration file has to be read first (think
of a default configuration installed by root) and _then_ the user's
config file.
I think current dir is a bad idea. Don't ask me why, it's a feeling ;-)

No problem with that for a default install. It should all go under
/usr/local/airstrike so you don't have problems
removing/updating/backuping/... it.

As debian policy is very strict _I_ have to put it in this path.
