Having said that, it should not be too hard to write a plugin that would force a user confirm for any package that drops or touches a file in /etc ( assuming you can get to a stage where /etc/* does represent all config data on a machine ). Alternatively, you could do it where the package payload is checked for config metadata. - KB
