Yes, it says that local changes must be preserved; it does not say that the
package may not attempt to upgrade config files.

The possible fontpath duplication for users who had already upgraded to
modular was a known issue when this handling was put in place, but this
consideration was secondary to the need to provide upgrade handling for all
the users being left without font support.

Does this duplication cause any problems for you, or is it merely cosmetic?
