When I saw the title for this bug, I thinked just the same, that the config file should be splitted in some different files. I think you have explained the solution right. The only thing I am not sure is if conversion should be made in preinst or postinst, before restarting daemon. What have done other packages in such situation? Also, don't forget to keep old config file and print a big warning.
BTW, I think that git repo should go live right now. If I someday go to get a new server and can recover SVN hist, we can later complete it in git, -- José Carlos García Sogo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
