>Description:
        Most packages do not overwrite existing config files if
        one does pkg_delete/pkg_add.  teTeX does, and in particular
        it overwrites config.ps.  I suspect that there are other such
        files; that's the only one that's been annoying me of late.
>How-To-Repeat:
        See above
>Fix:
        Change the 'make install' for 'dvips' to check for config files
        before overwriting them
