Package: readline-common
Version: 5.2-3
Severity: minor

Hi,

the current postinst script hides any chance to update to a newer /etc/inputrc.
If you want to update /etc/inputrc you now have to move it away and only then
call dpkg-reconfigure.

It would be nice if the package could compare the installed version with the one
the package provides and ask the user if he/she wants to use the new version.

This could even help to spot bugs like #345473

Thanks,
