This is a good point, but it may break upgrade as right now there is no user interaction, whereas apkg -u always has user interaction and this IMHO would be a major drawback. I don't know if there is an option to apkg which makes it silent and just use the new file, but that could probably be added. Nevertheless, if apkg could overwrie the package then we still would have to save configdb, but that is not so bad. Unfortunately, there could be a loss of valuable information in configdb. Maybe it would be enough to inform the user of the differences in important config files.
