Well, I doubt we either could or would want to change the way conffiles
are updated by dpkg. I think that by getting upstream to fix how kdmrc
is altered by the KDM Control Centre module (not stripping comments,
etc.), then users updating would get a usable amount of 'diff' output
to judge whether or not to replace their kdmrc or keep their own
copies.
