This is also the default behavior with the cfg-update alternative to
dispatch-conf - unmodified files are just replaced. Never had a
problem with it. 90% of the time these are files I've never even
looked at.
Will the new option remove files automatically as well? I've been
getting warnings on boot that I suspect are the result of ancient udev
rules files that never got removed due to protection. I've been
meaning to investigate, but I need to figure out which if any I did
actually modify.
