okay, another question. I'm trying to determine how likely it is that having my custom packages installed will break Amazon software updates.

Does an Amazon update only check files it is actually changing, or does it go out of it's way to verify there's not been any tampering?

I currently only have a single file I have to change, and I may be able to get around even that. All my additions go in standard Linux directories (/etc/*, /usr/local/*, etc)

If I don't touch any files and make it extremely unlikely to have a filename collusion will I avoid ever conflicting with Amazon updates? Obviously, I mean based on past history. They could change what they do at any point.
