Package: git-delta
Version: 0.18.2-4+b1
Severity: normal
File: /etc/delta/themes.gitconfig
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
The file `themes.gitconfig` is not meant to be installed in `/etc/delta`; it's
meant to be installed in `/usr/share/delta`. It even says, in the
example at the top of the file:
> # To use these themes, first include this file in your own gitconfig file:
> #
> # [include]
> # path = /usr/share/delta/themes.gitconfig
This file is not system configuration, it's a resource file that users
can include. Users shouldn't edit this file; if they want to write their
own theme, they can trivially do so in their `~/.gitconfig`, perhaps by
copy-pasting one of the examples from that file to start with.

As documented in /usr/share/doc/git-delta/README.Debian, the Debian
packaging provides the file *both* as a system-wide configuration file
and (via a symlink) from the upstream documented path.
I disagree that Debian users must copy the file to customize it: The
choice of offering it it for system-wide editing was deliberate.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
