At least the systemd unit file will still reference /usr/vice/etc, so =
it's a bit more than that.

And it's a change I don't see within the 1.6.x series.

One could build with --enable-transarc-paths, move /usr/vice/etc over to =
/etc/openafs-client, and package that plus a symlink /usr/vice/etc -> =
/etc/openafs-client . Maybe.
