I don't maintain the debian stuff anymore, best sent it upstream.

Yes, no, maybe :)

In hindsight, a directory would have been better - we have dhcpcd.duid
and dhcpcd.secret that live in /etc as well.

However, dhcpcd.conf is designed to be parsed top down. We could load
the files in a lexical order, but that would mess with dhcpcd-{gtk,qt}
editing the configuration sanely.
