Yes, doing it that way is a real complex thing that will be PITA.

But why KiCad needs that file if it also could use the default
configuration from the package and only place differential and
additional data from the user context in that file and load the config
from here on top of the default config?

It looks a bit wrong for me to save the default data within the user
context which will bring such difficult circumstances then.
