I think this misses perhaps all files that are modified by hand.
In my case e.g.:
/etc/fstab
/etc/cups/client.conf
/etc/passwd
..and perhpas some I forgot.

My approach so far would be: Install a new client with a packagelist 
from the example client, run some sort of diff betweeen the /et of the 
example and the freshly installed client, and the "just copy" (?) the 
different files from the example to the fai config (at the moment I 
don't know where that would be, because of missing knowledge).
