Configure files and scripts may be over written when updating packages with rpm.
For example, if updating base-files with a new version of rpm, the file
/etc/nsswitch.conf which is created by base-files will be substituted by a new file.
This is not what we want since our config files may be lost after updating.
A resolution is to revise spec file of rpm and put %config before config files
like "%config /etc/nsswitch.conf".
Theoretically all editable files created by rpm packages should be protected
with "%config". But currently we only concern about the following packages:
base-files
initscripts
logrotate
lvm2
libpam
nfs-utils
