If you did not touch that file, install the new one, it's the safe side
and also less hassle on next merge ;-)

If you changed parameters in that file, merge your changes into the new
one, if in doubt, consult the man pages to figure that the configuration
does and if a new parameter is required. You may find either Ctrl-Z
useful or the "leave for later" choice in mergemaster.
