Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

Well, create is not update :)  In its current form, create will save an 
existing setup.cfg as setup.cfg.old and generate a new one.  The human operator 
will then have to merge both files if necessary.  Automatically merging the old 
file into the new one would raise issues with respect to comments, whitespace 
and all that in Pythons < 3.2.

The doc and help messages are probably unclear about that.
