It's also a blatant violation of packaging rules for Debian if not
every distribution. If you edit the user's configuration file then
there's no way to install a modified default configuration file. You
can't tell the automatic modifications apart from the user's
modifications. So the user will get a prompt asking if he wants the
new config file or to keep his modifications which he never remembered
making.
