Just my $.02.  Not a  solution to your specific problem, but the very
best solution (tm), is to undergo a little bit of pain and put up a
gentoo system.  Just one of the many benefits is the fact that updates
don't change config and other files in /etc without external action by
you, i.e. your custom settings don't change on the fly.
