Currently I have made a slight modification to
/usr/share/Eterm/themes/Eterm/theme.cfg and menu.cfg. My custom configs
get erased every time I do an upgrade through dselect.

This should work like all other debian packages do when they detect a changed
configuration file, prompting the user for a diff or overwrite or keep
existing copy or whatever.

I suggest using dpkg-divert on any package-space files you modify
beyond /etc files -- which are automatically handled as conffiles.
