well, perhaps that'd be the expected thing (I personally wouldn't want
a package install modifying my configs), but we're not talking about
upgrading from our RPM to our RPM.  we're talking about upgrading from
someone else's RPM to our RPM.  who knows how "someone else" does things,
so we really can't deal with all of the possibilities of how they do it.

what we could do, potentially, is remove the postun condrestart, and
leave it for the post section.  that way, in this case, the old default
sysconfig file would be updated with our sysconfig file, and the restart
will work.  I'm not sure why there's 2 condrestarts in there in the
first place.

as for the -a issue, I like having it as an error.  this means people
will have to pay attention that something has changed.  I think we
can have a more useful message spit out than "unknown option" though.
But that's another ticket.
