This patch moves the org.gnome.GConf.service file into ${libdir} as
that file contains a reference to ${libexecdir} which is different on
multilib builds (and a good reason why libexecdir shouldn't depend on
libdir), so the files are not identical.

My question is why are we installing two copies of the GConf daemon,
can't we just install this package once?
