An understanding question here, should this also work when upgrading 
from cvs based install to an svn based install?

Or does this only work when the cvs version differs?

I'm updating right now a 7.1 install on ppc to a current, svn based 
build, from today.

This is what I get here:

   Use 'd' to delete the temporary ./etc/pam.d/ftpd
   Use 'i' to install the temporary ./etc/pam.d/ftpd
   Use 'm' to merge the temporary and installed versions
   Use 'v' to view the diff results again

TIA,
