You could maybe solve this by patching a new interface to files.if

########################################
## <summary>
##	Do not audit attempts to read files
##	in /etc that are generic
## </summary>
## <param name="domain">
##	<summary>
##	Domain to not audit.
##	</summary>
## </param>
#
interface(`files_dontaudit_read_etc_files',`
	gen_require(`
		type etc_t;
	')

	dontaudit $1 etc_t:file { getattr read };
')

And call that from your rtorrent.te file:

files_dontaudit_read_etc_files(rtorrent_t)

I have been considering writing some guidelines to refpolicy style
requirements, but i also still make mistakes...

Style issues can be learned by *carefully* studying refpolicy.
