Yes, per the example I sent yesterday. config_local.py (and
config_distro.py) are sourced by config.py. config_distro is read first,
and can be used by packagers to override distro-specific options, and then
config_local is read to allow users to do further customisation.

Not really - the problem there is that the same package needs to support
both desktop and server modes - and that's proving not to work so well at
present. The security side of the problem should be solved by the patch I
sent earlier which ensures that all installations will have unique keys.
There will remain conflicts between modes though, with regard to some of
the paths. I suspect what we'll have to end up doing is have everything
work out of the box for desktop mode, but have users tweak config_local.py
for server mode.
