[Pkg-osm-maint] Bug#644841: osmosis: Osmosis should provide a way to configure systemwide

[Alberto Fernandez]

Package: osmosis
Version: 0.39+ds1-4
Severity: minor
Tags: sid

The launcher /usr/bin/osmosis look for configuring osmosis, first /etc/osmosis,
then ~/.osmosis.
With the new osmosis releases, /etc/osmosis is always a directory so you cannot
have a system-wide configuration.

Please provide an alternative location (maybe /etc/default/osmosis) to store
and load the configuration
