Er, that's just what Debian does: gives you a choice of which file to
have active, old or new, and leaves the other one available for
inspection. (*.dpkg-old, *.dpkg-dist in this case.)

If you want to combine a custom setting with always using the latest
supplied config for the rest of the file, you need something a little
more sophisticated than that. Manual editing, or something automated
like Puppet or Ansible.
