Actually after (re-)reading the page linked to above, I wonder whether a good solution would be to write scripts to do this for individual packages using Augeas and try to get them included upstream. The Debian packagers would be likely to use them, but others might well do so as well, and they would get much wider review. And starting with a few high-profile packages might make the idea catch on :)
Thanks for pointing out Augeas anyway.

I only discovered it yesterday while exploring libvirt's dependencies
(hey, I was bored). It's the first use of even a subset of ML in anger that I've ever seen.
