Package: lirc
Version: 0.7.1pre2-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Some variables in my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf (attached) are set in an
indented line. lirc's postinst fails to detect that these are
correctly set, and adds lines to set these. I simply deleted these
lines at first, but they are of course re-added on the next upgrade...
(Isn't modifying a conffile a policy violation as well? Anyway, I'd
prefer a debconf question: "Your hardware.conf seems broken? [Fix it
for me] [I will fix it myself] [Don't tell me again]")
I am attaching a simple-minded patch that at least handles indented
lines. Perhaps a better strategy would be to source hardware.conf and
check if the variables are then set.

Hi there, Robert,
I applied your patch long ago, and it introduced no problems.
If you happen to still see this bug, feel free to reopen.
