mpd won't run without some /etc/mpd.conf or ~/.mpdconf and no example
is installed at all, so I had no idea where to start in making a
~/.mpdconf. So I'd go with the second rule: Install config files only
if the package needs them to run or they explicitly set the defaults
and if the default install doesn't install it then it's an upstream
bug.
