I guess the "what do you want to do about this config file that you seem to have changed" question would have to be dealt with differently, but I suspect that could be delayed until afterwards. Well, as to that, I think an upcoming dpkg feature in the "this took way too long for someone to think of and implement" category will be 3-way merging of config changes. Not hard to do with diff and patch, maybe they'll even use the 'wiggle' tool by, what's-his-name, I forget the author now... (: ... but either way it should eliminate most of the above questions. At least on my installations - usually I changed a config file in some trivial way that would be easy to merge.
