Postfix afaik just has one humungous config file, so when your distro
updates the config, all your local changes are trashed :-(
I don't want to faff about with special copies, backups, origs etc.
Everything should "just work (tm)".
Except that portage doesn't overwrite stuff under /etc by default. It
saves the new config file and then tells you there's an update so you
can use etc-update or dispatch-conf to check/merge/abort the changes.
After all the new version of software may need a change to the old
config file.
If you've files that you want protected that aren't under /etc then add
the path to the CONFIG_PROTECT variable:-
