Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package modifies a conffile from
eclipse-platform.
This is a violation of policy 10.7.4: "Sharing configuration files".
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files
  "The maintainer scripts must not alter a conffile of any package,
   including the one the scripts belong to."

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up eclipse-platform (3.8.0~rc4-1) ...
  
  Configuration file `/etc/eclipse.ini'
   ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
   ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
     What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
      Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
      N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
        D     : show the differences between the versions
        Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
   The default action is to keep your current version.
  *** eclipse.ini (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing 
eclipse-platform (--configure):
   EOF on stdin at conffile prompt

That happens on upgrades.


cheers,

Andreas
