I'm not sure: If a config file is in package nis, it cannot
be in package nis-local, too without having the a conflict,
right?

But nis is only an example - I have ten or twenty packages
with some local configuration (samba, apache, ...). It's
not an option to have all those packages in local variants.
That's why I asked about more "intelligent" way of config
file handling, like cfengine in postinst. Nobody tried
this?
