I have doubts - but have not looked into it. But I remember that I 
normally had some - very few - lines to change (fewer as backuppc 
progressed to newer releases).

I have no suggestions - only "problem awareness". Some two-layer 
approach might be considered: a static configuration for 
release-invariant customisation (accessible, to the user, but at similar 
pains as looking into the code) and some "dynamic" customization - which 
takes care of issues the user wants subject to fine-control, certainly 
also issues that had not been foreseen in the static part or reflect 
modifications introduced by a new release. I know, that is vague, but it 
indicates a possible approach.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
