It avoids the problem, but it does not address the root cause (IMHO).
Should opkg really complain about missing configuration files? It is
perhaps an edge case, but besides editing a configuration file
*removing* it entirely may also be a valid user modification.

The usage of opkg here is during image building, but the operation
itself (opkg status) is not specific to image creation and thus should
be able to handle arbitrary states of /etc and the config files in
general.
