So I then did

It now occurs to me that this hard linking could bite me later, if
anything clobbers
/etc/newt/palette
because palatte.dark, which is data I do not want to lose, would get
clobbered too. So I have done
# ln -Tvsf /etc/newt/palette.dark /etc/newt/palette
to make palette a soft link instead.
LOL. A soft link suffers from the same problem as the hard link.
# rm /etc/newt/palette
# cp -a /etc/newt/palette.dark /etc/newt/palette
