So this is ugly. This was broken for some time when
PTXCONF_CHRONY_INSTALL_CONFIG is installed, so we need to assume that
projects install /etc/chrony.conf from another package (I know projects
that do this).
Changing sysconfdir will break those silently.

So please make the change the other way around and move
projectroot/etc/chrony/chrony.conf to projectroot/chrony/chrony.conf and
the same for chrony.keys.

You can also add something like this:

	@ptxd_get_alternative projectroot /etc/chrony/chrony.conf && \
		ptxd_bailout "/etc/chrony/chrony.conf was moved to /etc/chrony.conf" \
		"Please move $${ptxd_reply} accordingly."

To catch old files. This does not work for the other case, because it must
be in the package that installs the file. The same for chrony.keys.
