Details
The latest version of syslog-ng installs a bunch of files
into the /etc directory that have very generic names
("modules.conf", "scl.conf", etc.), and it's really not
obvious what these files do and whom they belong to. I think
it's customary to install those files into a subdirectory in
such a case, i.e. /etc/syslog-ng.

Reason for closing: Implemented
Additional comments about closing: config files are now in /etc/syslog-ng/ in syslog-ng 3.2.2-1
I didn't touch the /usr/share/include stuff: upstream puts them there and scl.conf reference these directories.

While I am at it ... a path like
"/usr/share/include/scl/syslogconf/README" is really bizarre, too.
I don't any other package in ArchLinux that installs files into
"/usr/share/include". Shouldn't this directory be called
"/usr/share/syslog-ng"?
