We seem to have two things going on here: motd.innd is to be renamed to motd.nnrpd (by a means yet to be agreed);
Under the name motd.nnrpd it is no longer a conffile in the new package (as it is no longer shipped but it is used if present). Incidentally Russ Alberry reckons that the feature which requires this file is almost never used anyway: http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/motd.news.html I am thinking of patching innupgrade to not do the rename, and checking the md5 against the current issued version in the maintainer scripts. If they match then ask maintscript-helper to remove it (as this is the upstream sample which has never been edited); if not then let maintscript-helper do the rename. This may satisfy the Debian requirements for ability to interrupt and revert the process. In Wheezy we will (all being well) then either have no file at all (if it proclaimed "This is a sample MOTD file" under squeeze) or else have a non-conffile that has been user created. I think this is the best for anyone who does use this file. I'll try coding it up but can anyone see any holes in this idea in the meantime ?
