I usually make copies of both the originals and my own customizations, then 
keep backups in a safe location. If it gets changed, or on new installations, 
I just overwrite the file with my own customized version. There are a number 
of these ~rc files for which I make such backups. 

Also you might check permissions, to make sure that only root gets rw 
privileges, and other users are read-only. By the way, I don't experience 
that problem when I upgrade. 

Redoing those same config files is wasted effort; once you get it how you 
want, just keep overwriting from your backup versions.
