Vidar Tyldum Hansen said before that there was no md5 checking...

That's it!  That is what I'm trying to say! I do NOT want swup to modify
my old (unmodified or at least "touched", i.e. with mtime or permissions
changed be me) default config to new default config. Is there any way to
"ask" swup to use such behaviour as I wish? (Or whom do I need to ask to
think about implementation of such behaviour in swup?)
