Reading that again makes me realize, that the config files on the bird package are dpkg controlled config files. But the admin has to change them, ALWAYS. So it might make a lot of sense to turn these files into "install once, don't touch again" config files. That should make upgrades much smoother, as dpkg will not ask to replace the config file with a newer version (which you'd need to change again). That should reduce the downtime also, because the box can do the upgrade on its own and finally bird is back again. If people consider this a good idea, we maybe should change the bug title or open a new one?
