In this way, I dare say, lies madness. Not only will there be multiple
packages owning the same config file, but there is the problem of
multiple versions existing --- package A and package B both include a
superset, and now for no good reason can't be installed together.
If there is really a problem with not being able to include everything
in netkit-data or whatever, we need an update-services command, etc.
