I can see the argument for not wanting everyone to have to deal with
dpkg yelling about updated conf files, but that'll only happen once,
people can say "N" which is the default, and I do think the grey is
pretty ugly.
There is something to be said for making the system look "nice" from
the start when it doesn't cost too much. Though I don't really care
about this stuff, "fixing" it would probably be good PR.
