Ok, I added a second version of the patch to the bugtracker which 
implements your suggestion.

I did use ${HOME} in the first version because it is the standard 
location for blackbox configuration [1].

Is there any way for a clean implementation to put the config to the 
standard location? With e.g postinstall? I don't like the idea of not 
using a standard location but I agree that hardcode to /home/root can 
cause trouble.
