The conflict resolution prompt has been updated with a new option for
automatic merging:
M : attempt to automatically merge the differences
This functions by performing a 3-way diff using the new conffile, the
currently-installed conffile, and the pristine version of the conffile
from the currently installed version of the package (which is retreived
from the conffile database). The merge output is generated alongside the
conffile, in the form <path>.dpkg-merge.
On a successful merge, the merge output replaces the conffile, and dpkg
continues as if the admin had selected to keep the old conffile. On merge
failure the admin is informed of the failure and the the conflict prompt
is redisplayed. In such an event the merge output will still be present
in case it is useful for merge resolution.
This commit also contains updates to the conffiledb unit tests, covering
the new merge functionality.

Is "diff3 -m" the state of the art for this? Well, it will do to
start. In the long term maybe some people will want to use some other
tool to perform the merge, like RCS "merge" or something Config::Model
based.
In the general case, the right merge result may depend on the content
of other files (for example, if the user renamed a file so the new
pristine version should be renamed, too). Luckily I don't think the
layout is tying our hands, so that could happen in the future.
Tiny nitpick: I think I'd rather this not go on to 'N' automatically
but return to the "what now?" prompt so the user can inspect the
automatic merge result and decide whether she is happy with it, though
I could be easily convinced otherwise.
