I think the easiest way to implement this without swapping /etc is to
set up some extra per-process mounts of /etc of different versions.
So when you run dpkg, it has /etc mounted to a pristine copy of the repository
that isn't what is actually in /etc; then we do a merge and if the merge
goes
Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.40
Severity: wishlist
(I'm probably begging for a wontfix tag, but here it goes.)
One feature I'd love to see in etckeeper is the ability for dpkg to
store a copy of the pristine conffiles in a separate branch, in a manner
similar to the familiar upstream/master Git
