There is a backup array to perform backup of *to be modified configuration files* . BUT the package *must not* edit these files. Just backup to prevent loss from user manipulation. Then include new configuration files in the package or provide a *.new* file. NVIDIA binary package have an *extract only* feature. pacman also have the -w option, which allow *download only*feature. So we just download, extract, and move required files. We're done.
