Package: lirc-modules-source
Version: 0.7.1pre2-10
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3
Hi,
lirc-modules-source modifies its /etc/lirc/lirc-modules-source.conf
conffile in postinst. This is a violation of policy 10.7.3.
("[Conffiles] must not be modified by the maintainer scripts during
installation (or at any other time).")
A possible way to solve this would be to ship the template for the
configuration file in /usr/share/lirc-modules-source.conf (or somewhere
else), generate the corresponding configuration according to answers to
debconf templates in /tmp, and the merge this generated file with the
actual configuration file with ucf.
(I might write the corresponding patch if you wish.)
Cheers,
Nicolas
