Yes, plain file vs config file. There was a change a couple of months ago 
by someone else that changed config files to plain files which totally 
messed up /etc after etcupdate was run. It also affected mergemaster BTW.

If pkgbase needs config files to be plain files we might need a knob to 
make it so when pkgbase is invoking make.
