Mysql package installed the wrong file?

I had the same error as the guy in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=86653

Which he resolved (post #7) by copying the my.cnf to /etc/

I just ran:

 cp /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.conf

And immediately my problem went away.

I thought most config files end in .conf and changing it to that made things work...
Is the mysql package just installing it wrong, or what?
