I may have missed this earlier in the thread, but has anyone given any
consideration to upgrade installs? If an upgrade doesn't plant the new
default files in /etc/default[s] after an upgrade, we now have two
places and twice the files to compare on upgrade.

As unorthodox as it sounds, if these defaults are meant to be
unchanged, wouldn't a place like /boot/rc, or something similar, make
sense? Upgrades get the new whistles, and administrators can fiddle
files in /etc to their heart's content.
