You don't do that at all. The contents of home directories are none of
any package's business. Only the actual program touches user
configuration, so any configuration update has to be in there.
If you really need to, because configuration is incompatible and there
is no update function in the program, write a wrapper that checks and
updates the configuration before running the actual program.
