not blindly overwritten when upgrading

I would suggest a pre-/post processing in the packages, like debian
does.
If a config file exists or is changed, the current File will be rotated
or, if possible, left as it is and the new 
file is installed beside the changed one.

Having too much config files makes it difficult to do an individual
configuration by own packages.

Wolfgang
