This

# Package configurations have to be unique by ID and provenance. Ensure that different providers do not provide
# configurations for the same package, see https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort/issues/6972 for details.
packageConfigurationProviders:
- type: DefaultDir
- type: Dir
id: SomeConfigDir
options:
path: '/some-path/'
mustExist: true
- type: OrtConfig

should be documented similar to curation providers at

# Package curation providers are listed from highest to lowest priority. Technically, they are applied in reverse
# order: The provider with the highest priority is applied last, so it can overwrite any previously applied curations.
