man (section 8) massagevendor contains some notes about how to update it.
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/massagevendor
In the changelog Steve Langasek <vor...@debian.org> said:
* Revert change in previous NMU that makes
/usr/share/arpwatch/ethercodes.dat a conffile; users who need to modify
this can use dpkg-divert instead. Closes: #552792, #550233.
This seems like it should be handled similarly to the whois database or
other periodically updated data (tzdata's probably one of the most
visable and most common to get updates). Maybe the freshclam of clamav
approach could be taken.
