Without the update-alternatives system debconf would automatically notify the user that the config is changed, and then ask if the user wants to keep their file, install the packager version or view a diff of the changes. It would be nice if that user experience would be present here.
At least we've seen that people don't read the first lines in the my.cnf.migrated even though the solution is there.
Maybe the simplest solution would be for the update-alternatives wrapper to emit a debconf screen which notifies what it was automatically done to the config file.
The point of decoupling the config files was to allow variants to have their own config options. That does not work in reality if variants cannot have reasonable trust that their config file is actually active.
