postinstall identifies issues that need to be fixed in an upgrade
for the newer system to function correctly.  Many of these issues
can be fixed by postinstall.  It makes no effort to merge other
changes.  postinstall should be a mandatory minimum step performed
during an upgraded.

etcupdate helps merge changes in the startup & user-editable
configuration files in /etc.  It calls postinstall as a convenience.


Hope that helps,
