hdparm.conf is a configuration file that you can optionally create, not something the package needs.  Our init scripts use /etc/sysconfig/harddisks for hdparm settings.  You can also make, for instance, /etc/sysconfig/harddisksda, for settings to only apply to a certain disk.

I'm not saying an example config is a bad idea, but even then it should be in /usr/share/doc/hdparm, not /etc.  Upstream would be the ideal source to supply one.
