Don't be sorry.

The > conversion script will generate the necesaary metadat automatically This sounds like something additional to the earlier conffile overwriting (the reason for this bugreport). Probably great... It sounds like you only deal with "the current state of the alien conffile" and moving to "the state your package needs the alien conffile to be in"). That's also what my cfengine script does currently). But what when perhaps gconf is upgraded to use a different config format?
