First of all, update-extlinux is a much-needed addition to this package, thanks for the effort! Unfortunately, it does not leave any room for personal customization, like selecting the user interface or adding custom menu entries. Overwriting extlinux.conf is a no-go in my opinion.
maybe it should be only created if it's not already existing (means, first-time only).
Actually, I pretty much like the solution used in update-grub... If you want to avoid munging configuration files, a template system would be more appropriate, I think. That would make most settings in /etc/default/extlinux obsolete as well. The question of version specific overrides is something to consider carefully.
templates? could you elaborate?
I'd be glad to help on this front, but decided to probe your intentions before diving in.
i've added a simple update-extlinux that just fits my personal use-cases. if you have/know/want/whateer something better, i've absolutely no problems in completely trashing the current one and replacing it.
