It seems like there's already a little bit of precedent for "alternate trees" representing the existing file system with the debuginfo rpms and /usr/lib/debug/ hierarchy. Although the easiest solution might be to have RPM deposit a duplicate copy of *all* config files (not just %config(noreplace)) adjacent to the config file actually read by the programs (e.g., /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf.rpmdist), that leaves lots of ugly, mostly unused, files everywhere. Perhaps RPM (or yum/dnf, via plugin) could write a duplicate copy of all config files into a tree somewhere? (E.g., /usr/lib/config/ or /usr/share/config/?) RPM/yum/dnf could then do the equivalent of an `rpm -qlca` and compare each /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf to /usr/lib/config/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf with no real magic or complex tech needed. Merging left up to the sysadmin.
There are no yum/dnf-level hooks/callbacks that execute per file, you'll need an rpm plugin for that.
