How to extend config of different bundle in Symfony2?

I know I can overwrite templates or extend classes of other bundles. But can I extend also configs? I was hoping to be able to load other namespaces from config in DependenyInjection/AcmeExtension.php's load method, but I haven't found anything about it anywhere.

Example:

I have AcmeBundle which defines following in config:

acme:
    a: 1

I want to extend this bundle (in new bundle called AwesomeAcmeBundle) and be able to define another variables either by adding them to original namespace:

acme:
    a: 1
    b: 2

or by wrapping original namespace to new one and adding new variables there:

awesome_acme:
    a: 1
    b: 2

I had similar needs and I have solved them in the following way:

1) Extend the parent's Configuration class

//FooBundle\DependencyInjection\Configuration.php

use DerpBundle\DependencyInjection\Configuration as BaseConfiguration;

class Configuration extends BaseConfiguration
{

    public function getConfigTreeBuilder()
    {
        $treeBuilder = parent::getConfigTreeBuilder();

        //protected attribute access workaround
        $reflectedClass = new \ReflectionObject($treeBuilder);
        $property = $reflectedClass->getProperty("root");
        $property->setAccessible(true);

        $rootNode = $property->getValue($treeBuilder);

        $rootNode
           ->children()
           ...

        return $treeBuilder;
     }
}

2) Create own extension that actually can handle the new configuration entries

class FooExtension extends Extension
{

    public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
    {

        $configuration = new Configuration();
        $config = $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs);

        //custom parameters
        $container->setParameter('new_param_container_name', $config['new_param_name']);

     ...
     }
}

3) in the app\config\config.yml you can use in your new foo attribute-set all the parameters that derp (as a parent bundle) has plus any of your new params that you have defined in the Configuration.php.

If you're talking about the .ymls, you can import the AcmeBundles confing in the AwesomeAcmeBundle config with 

imports:
    - { resource: path/to/AcmeBundles/config.yml }

and then overwrite the parameters you want.

Symfony is doing the same in the config_dev.yml with the framework/router parameter.
