http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2008-January/016696.html Should we consider /etc/issue not being in backup array as a bug? Or this file should be added to NoUpgrade by user?
I see no reason why this should be backed up. There is nothing there for the user to modify in a normal situation, and I guess 99% of users would want it overwritten. Seems like a good NoUpgrade candidate to me.
As it is in /etc, it is a configuration file. As 99% of the users don't change it, 99% of those users won't see a .pacnew file whenever we change the file. For the 1% of the users that changes the configuration file, this file should be in backup.
