As far as I know changing the default settings of an application in /usr/
share/<application>/ is respected, until the package is reinstalled and any
changes overwritten by the new version. For changes in a configuration to
remain following an update, using a config file in /etc or depending on the
package in /home is recommended - but it depends on the specific package what
config files it sources.
Files with configuration examples for reference only, are stored in /usr/
share/doc/<application>/ and as Rainer noted changes here won't make a
difference in the application itself.
