3) Don't error at all, treat as a normal backup case except pretend old file is the same as /dev/null (aka empty). This is where I sit. You shouldn't have to force the install, and the new file from the backup array should be dropped in place with a .pacnew extension. IMO, you get the best user experience going this route -- you don't need to go out of your way to do the upgrade, and there's notification about the new file being dropped in. I don't think there's any need to create a different message. It's sort of a special case, but I don't think it needs any special handling.
