[ZendTo] Re: Upgrade issue

[Jules]

It's a problem with the apt repository system that the updater doesn't 
seem to want to give you *both* the old and new versions of customisable 
files that you have changed.

On yum/rpm systems, you get *.rpmnew files where you have altered the 
original file, so it's obvious what you've got and where everything 
needs to go.

Simply offering keep originals vs. new files isn't enough, as either you 
lose the new file or you lose all your changes.
Isn't there any way of getting it to keep both, like rpm systems always 
have done?

Jules.
