Hm, why is access/modification time important?  Does Nautilus (the pkg
which I mentioned in one of my last mails) depend on those times?  Or
gataxx (pkg from my first mail)?  I'd say, that the majority of programs
doesn't care that much about mtimes, no?

Anyhow, I think that if just the mtime has changed and not the md5 sum,
RPM should go ahead and overwrite the "changed" config file and maybe
update the mtime to the time when the pkg is upgraded.  This way,
programs which depend on the times will find a newer config file and use
this.  But the current way is *very* annoying.
