Most packages continue to work with old config files after upgrade.

If they are really config files, why do they contain version numbers of
libxml and libxslt?!? These are constants and can not be configured.
If I upgrade those libraries and leave these files untouched, scripts you
mentioned will continue to think we have an older version of these libs.
I see no logic here. What are these script which use {xml2,xslt}Conf.sh,
provided that the same information can be extracted from {xml2,xslt}-config?
