The file should contain empty SPICE_VDAGENTD_EXTRA_ARGS variable because it is referenced in the spice-vdagentd.service file and it isn't obvious where it should be found. sysv-enabled builds could get such default file too but I'm not sure how the default location for such files is determined (I recall /etc/default in Debian-based system etc. :/)
Adding an "empty" sysconfig file sounds like a sane request to me, this should be easy for anyone to write a patch for. So; patches welcome!
I am not convinced it is such a good idea. - the vdagentd arguments are mostly for debugging purposes - empty files to be open/read at boot is recipe for slower boot time - the sysconfig files are well-known and documented, it's not something specific to vdagent
OK, so what about installing the sample file to /usr/share/doc? I can say for myself that I always have to search for the exact name of the variable...
