from pkg's point of view, it doesn't matter what the old version
number of the package is; if the package is being upgraded, it will
not overwrite configuration files.

this would only happen if master.passwd was not marked as @config
in 14, but i'm fairly sure it was.  a couple of files were missing
@config, but that wasn't one of them.
