For example, I'd like all the Ubuntu Desktops that I deploy to have some customization's to the settings found in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/, but if i edit those files, and then do apt update && apt upgrade, apt overwrites the changes i made.
I'm thinking I should make a repository that installs after the gsettings-desktop-schemas package. Such that my computers can pull down updates to ...

As requested by N0rbert:

I can understand keeping configuration files in /home, since these are custom files that have been created/edited by the user when running the corresponding program.
In contrast however, configuration files in /etc must be created and edited as root, and given that most programs do not run as root, they must be created when their corresponding program is installed, and not be edited thereafter. This ...

A while ago I messed up my computer trying to fix something else (it's already figured out) and deleted some core files, which makes my computer unable to update and install via apt-get. I know that I was making an ignorant mistake with that action, I do not need reminding.

Consider a package that is available as a .deb from the publisher as well as a snap from some other (unverified) publisher. A good example for this would be Zoom.

Since I am pri ...
