Configs from new rpms should always replace exising untouched configs

[zzambers]

Config files from new rpms should always replace old ones (and not be created as .rpmnew) as long as old files have not been touched. However this is currently not true. If new rpms contain modified config files (compared to old rpms), they are created as .rpmnew (even if old configs have not been modified). This is not consistent with normal rpm behavior.

Other info:
I have checked unpacked rpms, failing config files indeed differ between packages.
