IIRC, the discussion in the past (which resulted in the decision to  
not do anything specific for conf files) included what to do if/when  
conf file formats change, or the sample files include new  
configuration options, etc.

While you can try to be 'really clever', it's easy to end up in a  
situation where you strangely mangle a user's conf file and they have  
to go in and fix things manually.
