I've modified /usr/share/devtools/makepkg-x86_64.conf, but I'm concerned that if the upstream version of it changes, my modifications will be overridden without pacman creating a .pacsave file.

core/pacman backs these configs up, see line 21 in https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/pacman

I'd like this package to also add a backup entry in PKGBUILD and list there all configs from /usr/share/devtools.
This task depends upon

However using -M still doesn't allow me to track upstream changes. Also, I'm changing this file because I want to change the default behavior for mkarchroot, why use -M 100% of time? pacman has a neat way to backup configs, why not make use of it? Adding backup to PKGBUILD shouldn't make any conflicts for the package, right?
