Confused with jails (ezjail) and mergemaster

Hello,
Sorry for the confusion here, but I just am not getting it ...
I have just built and installed world on a 6.1-STABLE i386 machine and
run mergemaster. For the jails, I have run:
root# ezjail-admin update -i
and it performed an installworld. Cool so far.
What about mergemaster on the jails? Do I need to run mergemaster on
the basejail and each jail instance?
root# mergemaster -D /usr/jails/basejail
root# mergemaster -D /usr/jails/jail-01
root# mergemaster -D /usr/jails/jail-99
Or just mergemaster on basejail? If I do just run mergemaster on
basejail, how do the config file changes make it into the individual
jails? Ezjail is a great utility but running mergemaster on every jail
instance seems daunting, not to mention the potential problems with
end-user modified config files.
Many thanks for clarification, pointers, slaps upside the head, etc.
