That's what we do already (minus breaks). That allows us to overwrite and take-over conffiles from apache2.2-common. This works nicely and does what it is supposed to do - except in cases where people use --purge-unused because they think that's fun. In that case apt[itude] decides to purge all of /etc/apache2 entirely _before_ we have a deterministic chance to do look at the state, because apache2.2-common is going to be removed by upgrading to 2.4. I am not sure if an empty 2.2-common package in addition to that would solve that problem, as it would ship none of the conffiles either, so consequently they would still be purged. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
