The answer is probably "don't do this". The initscripts package should only contain skeleton files and/or scripts which create the correct files on demand of the user. My first OpenSSH packages did overwrite the config files, too, but that resulted in too much complains. Since then, unpacking config files in place is considered bad practice for Cygwin. At least the postinstall script of the package should rename the old config file (as *.rpmsave on rpm based installations).
