xpdf and lynx translated config files in /etc

xpdf includes several translated sample xpdfrc files in /etc.  It would
be much cleaner to give xpdf a directory and symlink the
primary /etc/xpdfrc (english as default) to the english version in the
directory, or to modify xpdf to read this from the directory instead.

xpdf and lynx are the only packages that are dumping multiple
translation config files into my /etc at this moment, it appears to be
the exception rather than the rule.  If this continues with more
packages then /etc will become a cluttered mess.

Is there a preferred practice on this?  Should these two packages be
changed?
