# `file-in-usr-marked-as-conffile`

All configuration files must reside in `/etc`. Files below `/usr` may not be marked as conffiles since `/usr` might be mounted read-only. The local system administrator would therefore not have a chance to modify this configuration file.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
