I have never heard of such a convention. IIRC, FHS doesn't mention
/usr/(local/)?/etc at all.

IMHO, if I have both /usr/local/etc/aa.conf and /etc/aa.conf, that's
wrong by itself and I shouldn't care much about the sequence.

The reason to have /etc/mailcap before /usr/local/etc/mailcap is: it's
more standard and frequently used.
