Conffiles handling is suboptimal when a file is deleted. *Some* symlinks are needed, to choose the /dev layout, while other nowadays could probably become simple files. In the beginning I tried to have something as flexible as possible to account for future changes, after the release I will try to remove some complexity. Anyway, I would like to see this patch merged. --=20 ciao, Marco --KN5l+BnMqAQyZLvT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFgaGgFGfw2OHuP7ERAhZhAJ9JvlOROiEVMLmzTDfJGOZx74oo/gCfeuQY Efqt12OzbnZdVVXSHrsZneA= =58wN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KN5l+BnMqAQyZLvT-- --===============0503272474== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
