Careful, since OpenPKG 1.3 you are indeed warned by the rc program when using it with 
packages
that have such .rpmsave or .rpmnew files in their config directories. Try
putting a blank 'thisthing.rpmsaved' file under /prefix/etc/apache/ and then
run 'rc apache stop' or some other 'rc apache ...' command.

There is however no warning from RPM itself after a sucessful package
upgrade.
