Package: fai
Version: 2.8.4
Severity: normal

/usr/share/fai/etc/apt.conf contains the following block:

DPkg 
{
  Options {
          "--abort-after=4711";   // a magic number in cologne ;-)
          "--force-confdef";
          }
};

The "--force-confdef" caused heavy trouble on many systems when
locally modified conffiles are overwritten (without any question) by
Debian security updates.

IMHO the default configuration should always ask me what I want or
should at least keep the old (modified) configuration but should never
overwrite my changes without asking me!
