Cool!

One comment: If I read it correctly, you use .cds as extension for 
temporary dumps at package upgrades.  Tools like etckeeper, backup 
routines and IDS'es like integrit might get annoyed by those.  I 
recommend either mimicing a common extension or storing in a tree below 
e.g. /var/lib/config-model.
