yes, that's exactly what i don't want to do.  i just want a completely
empty /etc/unbound/conf.d directory to work, so i can simply put
something like this at the end of the default debian unbound.conf:

# Additional local configuration of unbound can be performed by creating
# files whose names end in ".conf" in the /etc/unbound/conf.d directory.
# See the the unbound.conf(5) man page for details about the "include:"
# directive.
include: "/etc/unbound/conf.d/*.conf"

and the users won't have any problem figuring out the syntax... ".d"
config directories are well-understood.  after all, they're the ones
asking for the feature:
