I suspect that was a workaround where quilt was picking up things it
shouldn't on a system and we needed a quiltrc file but didn't stage
sysconfdir. I think we do stage sysconfdir for native packages now and
the fact it was using /usr is just historical detail which can be
removed.

Looking at the history, we added sysconfdir 2.5 years ago in:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta/classes/base.bbclass?id=dfd32b429a0a9bed09b75f59f0c7fb37f42c3ed9

The quiltrc fix was from two years before that:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=95554ee9b15e575a369d9686be6af45d3a6985fc
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta/classes/patch.bbclass?id=0443d80b50e98bb329e30430bde5db67f09004e3

Regardless, lets just have one patch which moves this somewhere sensible
and makes it quilt-native only.

Cheers,

Richard
