etc-update won't break /etc/fstab if you pay attention to what you're doing. The etc-update interface takes some getting used to... I made a mess the first time I tried it - so it's a good idea to save the files you're updating before you start. But once you get the hang of using it, it's a lot less trouble than doing it by hand.
