Oh, the other tool you'll want to use is etckeeper to manage /etc in a

I already do this, only without any packaging/wrapping like etckeeper,
just bare git. It's why I want to skip all the the gentoo merge
thingies, get a crack at the updated file shipped with a package,
insert
this into git on a parallel branch, then merge in the git way.
Not sure that it could solve your issue ... but I wrote a tool that - at
least for me - solves all the issues with etc-update and friends.
In general the usage of sdiff is terrible to me. So I did my own
solution. Unfortunately it is not ready to publish it, but if it is
perhaps of interest to you have a look at
http://gentoo.dyndn.es/doku.php/utils:qrtconf. This page describes
mainly the concept and isn't really finished. If it would be worth to
give it a try to you let me know and I will share it. For me it works
since a few years with some development.
