Thanks for looking at this while I've been gone, Markus! On Sun, 14 May 2017 15:43:37 +0200 Markus Koschany <[email protected]> wrote: > Possible sources of error are in debian/rules, the dh_installinit option > --no-scripts is misspelled and in the postinst script maybe these two lines
Ah! I'm doing an update on that package right now, I just fixed that typo. Thanks! > on every upgrade and I cannot confirm that.

That's what was illegally modifying that conf file. I tried fixing it a couple times but eventually decided that it wasn't worth the trouble. Most packages in Debian have common-sense default settings and they assume some level of computer proficiency on the part of the user (especially for a server package like this one) to manually edit configuration files. I'm also updating documentation[1] with this newest upload to make that manual configuration easier. With debconf removed since the 0.6.0 series, there's nothing else that can be fixed in the current package. I agree that an issue with old-old-stable is not likely to have any real-world impact at this point. However, if Andreas or anyone else believes that it *is* a real problem, I have no objection to removing this package from old-old. If I don't hear an objection in the next week or two I'll re-close this bug because the newest version already fixes the conffile modification issue. -Olek [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883739
