Okay, done.

I did what you had suggested earlier with a custom
'shepherd-configuration-action' job that accepts multiple files:

Josselin pointed to some problem, which I've now fix (had to use
"drop-ins" files instead of the canonical config file names, which are
looked from the package's sysconfdir in the store instead of under
/etc/elogind).  If we find other we can fix them later, but it seems to
me it can't be much worst than it is now, so I've now pushed this to
master, with commit f10d00e4e25.

Thanks to everyone who helped figure that one out!
