Thats how it works currently. the etc-update script just diffs the two
files and shows you the changes. you can use a -5 to automerge all the
new files. I normally look for files I have made changes to
(/etc/make.conf etc) and when I have them out the way I just automerge
the rest. Bit quicker but not much.
