The "mantainers version" is vanilla Ubuntu. Studio edits the file in one
of our own packages. Also, users edit this file with the Ubuntu Studio
Controls app. So, users must be aware on upgrade that they need to keep
their version and or look at the diff in the proposed new version.

Same thing happens usually with samba and apache for me.
