Package: ucf
Version: 3.0030
Severity: normal

After a (private) discussion due to bug #720517 I came to the following
request for ucf:

>> Apart from the *content* differences between the new file and the
>> existing file, ucf should also show the differences between the old
>> and new file for permissions and ownership. Such that if the admin
>> accepts the new file, she knows she is getting also different
>> ownership/permissions if there are differences there.
>
> That would be a nice feature. Some changes would need to be made to
> submit both strings to debconf, but it would be a useful improvement,
