Is this how pacman handles unmodified config files listed in "backup" array in PKGBUILD? The documentation isn't clear enough on this. I looked at http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/PKGBUILD.5.html and http://www.archlinux.org/pacman.man.html (HANDLING CONFIG FILES), but the case "original=X, current=X, new=Y" isn't described there. Anyway, this issue can be solved via shadow.install script. Rename login.defs to login.defs.new in the package tarball and rename it back to login.defs during installation only if /etc/login.defs doesn't exist.
