What are some of the major changes to /etc/fstab that could occur?

The only thing I can think of is the renaming of fs types in the kernel 
(unlikely) but sed would be better suited to do this instead of replacing 
or actively merging differences.  No matter which way you do it through 
etc-update you'll still have to edit the file manually.

Actually, the other thing is the device paths could change, but here again 
you would have to use sed or edit the file manually because you cannot 
count on the user's system having the same mount / dump options or mount 
points.
