Nothing fancy here:

setup(data_files=[
        ('/etc/foo.conf', ['foo.conf.sample']),

If --install-data is used, one has to edit the /etc/foo.conf file by hand.  
I understand you want this step to be automatic, and I admit it would be  
great, but none of my users complained until now (not that there are so  
many...!)
