You are absolutely correct. Works but is not the right way. The current way is 
unfortunately a bit convoluted:
- add your own /srv/salt/ceph/configuration/files/ceph-custom.confj2
- add your own /srv/salt/ceph/configuration/files/custom.sls
  This looks bassically like the default.sls but uses your custom config
- add configuration_init: custom to the pillar (in 
  /srv/pillar/ceph/stack/global.yml iirc)

So yeah its not straight forward. There are plans to make all this more 
comfortable: https://github.com/SUSE/DeepSea/issues/205. Feel free to add more 
requirements, opinions and such. I'd like to see this feature soon.
