Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.3.1
Severity: normal

Is there any reason this patch hasn't yet been applied? I'd find a menu
option very useful, rather than the current "break local config by
trashing it with upstream" vs "break the program by not upgrading its
config" choice we currently get. Every time I get such a question I
always hit Z and run

  vimdiff /etc/foo.conf{,.dpkg-new}

anyway, so having a menu option to do that directly would be useful
indeed...
