| The /etc/reader.conf contains a "warning":
| # Do NOT edit this file directly but use update-reader.conf(8) instead.
| 
| update-reader.conf(8) checks that the /etc/reader.conf contains the line:
| ### This file is automatically generated by update-reader.conf
| So a config file written by hand from scratch is _not_ overwritten.

Sure, but that's not the wording in policy, it is that you must preserve
user changes. :-)

| What should the update-reader.conf if the file have been manually
| modified?
| 
| Do you have an example of an update-foo command that does what you
| request for?

Either aborting if the file is modified (with a sensible error message)
or not keeping reader.conf in /etc would both be acceptable
solutions. update-rc.d and update-passwd handle in-/etc updates.  As an
example of something storing the result in /var, take a look at
update-updmap for instance.
