The "special" reason is:
If several packages modify one file, its very hard to track the changes. Yo=

u=20

might want to purge packages with all their configuration later...

So its better if each package adds its own file to a directory and all thes=

e=20

files get parsed.
The same is done in /etc/apache2, in /etc/modprobe.d, in /etc/cron.[hourly|

daily|weekly|monthly] and many more. Its not a new and unknown method at al=

l.
Have fun,
