You could try to do it like how request tracker does and have two
directory trees. The first one is the one as the package maintainer
fiddles with. The second is where the admin puts their modified files.
The magic comes with how you handle the two trees. Of course a
well-designed system will make sure the templates are just templates (eg
formatting with no code at all) so there is not that many changes.
