The way this works is that the default etc is shipped as /usr/etc,
so we can always diff it versus the real /etc.
Ideally, you'd also have a third copy, the pristine version of the
configuration file that was installed before the file was edited first.
That way, you could run three-way diffs and clarify which differences
are actual local edits, and which differences come from packaging changes.
