Correct, but easily worked around by running mergemaster -U before
updating your source tree.  It won't do anything, since your /etc is
already up to date, but it will record the necessary information so the
next -U run (after you've upgraded) works as designed.

By the way:

des@ds4 ~% cat .mergemasterrc=20
PAGER=3D"less"
IGNORE_MOTD=3D"YES"
AUTO_INSTALL=3D"YES"
AUTO_UPGRADE=3D"YES"
PRESERVE_FILES=3D"YES"

but remember that if you do 'sudo mergemaster', it will read your
~/.mergemaster instead of root's, unless you've configured sudo to set
HOME to the home directory of the target user.
