Not on a Debian (or derived) system; system-gschemrc is a configuration
file (it's in /etc/gEDA after all). If you upgrade gschem then one of
three things will happen:

1. If the new package contains a file that has changed, and you haven't
changed the previously installed file, you'll get the new version
automatically.

2. If the new package has the same file as the old package, you'll keep
your changed version automatically.

3. If the new package has a changed file and you've also modified the
installed file, you'll be asked how you want to proceed (preserve or
replace).
