Yes that's what I meant, sorry wrote in a hurry :-) - config-package-dev automates generating dpkg-divert snippets for the maintainer scripts, I've used it a lot and I find it quite handy. It's a build-time tool. We can do it manually too of course!

I'll give it a test tomorrow for the alternate json and check that it works with the applications I've got.
