What I see is /usr/share/etc, i.e., $(datarootdir)/etc. It's not clear why the latter name doesn't suffice for this need, as files in $(datarootdir) are also supplied by the distro and are read-only. Also, make-stds.texi and standards.texi are upstream from Autoconf; to make changes to them, please email [email protected]. I'll cc this to that email address to give them a heads-up.
