Package: backup-manager
Version: 0.5.7-1sarge1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Because /etc/backup-manager.conf is not marked as a conffile,
the last security
update overwrote my configuration of /etc/backup-manager.conf.
I configured an upload via ftp and also MB_POST_BACKUP_COMMAND.
The complete configuration is lost, so that no backup to the ftp
site was made.
The hint in README.Debian to not edit the .conf file and to use
debconf instead is useless, since not all options are handled by
debconf.

Version: 0.5.8-1
This bug has been fixed in testing and unstable with the upload of
version 0.5.8-1, so I'm closing it (with a Version: pseudoheader) to
document this status as completely as possible.
The bug still affects the version of backup-manager in sarge.
