Every time this package is updated dpkg wants to overwrite my custom
alterations to /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf .
Perhaps it would be good to have a local overriding sourced file which users
are suppose to edit instead of the default.
For example /etc/default/laptop-mode ( or
/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf.local)
could be sourced after the default one.
Interesting idea. Of course, the config file is intended as an example /
default only -- it's just that it's extended rather often, as laptop
mode tools is still in pretty active development. So, you can simply say
"no" every time it wants to upgrade -- I always make sure that backward
compatibility is maintained, so this will not break anything. Also, I
think the way that laptop-mode-tools works is the way most packages
work. Could you point out one or more (representative, i.e. big)
packages that do things the way you suggest?
