Well, two wwwoffle.conf's is no fun from the users point of view. One
500 lines long, the other 501.  Only one of them will get updated by
the updater script upon upgrade, at least here on Debian.
One also needs say a wwwoffle.conf.master and a Makefile to produce
the two different versions of wwwoffle.conf.

Perhaps things could be easier if we could at any time do minute
adjustments like $ echo bla > /proc/bla/bla can.

Anyway, still need finer control for

hmmm, perhaps a -gg or a minus-g-overrides-dontget=true #but then to

Anyway, "customers see need for more flexibility beyond monolithic DontGet".
