We wanted to deal with all editable files including config files(maybe 
under /etc), scripts files and so on. Because they may be changed sometime.
But we find that not all files are necessary to handle. For example,
 >>>> base-files        /etc/motd

I'd expect the above to be changed...but not...

The key thing for conf files is, is this an action a system 
administrator is likely to do?  for motd yes it is..  for pam 
configurations, not likely.. the operating system developer is the one 
who would make these changes.

This patch just handles files that we think should be protected currently.
