I probably ought to let someone with a /good/ suggestion come in here, 
but I keep copies of foo_distrib.bar and foo_my.bar

After an upgrade, if diff foo.bar foo_distrib.bar is null,
cp foo_my.bar foo.bar

If the diff isn't null, some investigation is needed.

I doubt that it's rigorously correct but it seems to work.
