Normally, when Apple upgrades files in /etc (/private/etc), they usually copy the current version into a file with a suffix of “orig” or “previous”, of something along those lines. After you upgrade, you should check whether your original file has copied into a backup, and merge the two (there might be some changes that Apple makes you might want to consider in your final version).
