[OE-core] is it best practice to use ${sysconfdir} rather than hard-coding "/etc"?

  i suspect i know the answer to this, but in the recipe file
usbinit.bb, we have:

do_install() {
    install -d ${D}/etc
    install -d ${D}/etc/init.d
    install usb-gether ${D}/etc/init.d
}

  i'm guessing that would more properly be coded:

do_install() {
    install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}
    install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d
    install usb-gether ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d
}

  the end result is functionally identical, of course, it's all just a
matter of style.
