Package: libpam-ldap
Severity: wishlist

  The package will right now unconditionally overwrite configuration
 that quite possibly is user-modified.  That's not the behaviour I
 expect from a Debian package, even though the file isn't tagged as a
 conffile.

  There's no guarantee that the user has seen the Debconf question
 (think for example DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive), and I am certainly
 not alone in not bothering to read all comments in the configuration
 file when I know exactly which directives I'm going to alter anyway.

  May I suggest using UCF instead?  Then you don't have to bother with
 magic Debconf comments and asking permission to make changes, UCF will
 handle it for you seamlessly, and I will still feel that my custom
 configuration is still considered sacred and be safe knowing it won't
 vanish unexpectedly.

Regards
