That's because it doesn't exist. It's something I set just to
demonstrate the behavior. You can set arbitrary expressions in
HTCondor config files.

True, but you should only have to do it once. Future RPM-based
installations should see that condor_config.local differes from what
was shipped in the RPM and save new entries as
condor_config.local.rpmnew. If you're using a configuration management
tool like Chef, Puppet, or CFEngine, then the effort is trivial.
