This is where I sit. You shouldn't have to force the install, and the
new file from the backup array should be dropped in place with a .pacnew
extension. IMO, you get the best user experience going this route --
you don't need to go out of your way to do the upgrade, and there's
notification about the new file being dropped in. I don't think there's
any need to create a different message. It's sort of a special case, but
I don't think it needs any special handling.

Agreed, this sounds like the right thing to do.
