I am currently using _darcs symlinks is allow me divid large
directories, /etc for example into multiple _darcs repositories
in the form of

_darcs%packagename

with a modified boring of course

I am automatically getting the list of files to include from
packagename.conffiles
Of course it would be much nicer if I could specify the 
_darcs directory name.

Just something I am playing with this. I might yet go with a heretical 
directory structure in /etc/conffiles a stow like solution.
solution.
