According to git, the template file has been marked as 
"config(noreplace)" in the RPM since 10/25/2006.    So upgrades should 
make a ".rpmnew" but they should not install the existing one and move 
your old one to where it is not used.    Only files just marked "config" 
should have the ".rpmsave" behavior.   I'm not sure why  you're seeing 
that exactly?

Of course /var/log/messages is a great place to look regardless.
