I do not master enough either freebsd-update nor mergemaster to tell the 
former not to do the merge, but only download what is necessary for the latter 
to work.

If I understand well, I can tell not to touch /etc (removing it from
MergeChanges), but I would not be able to find what is then needed for
mergemaster.
