I think it would be nice to make restoring the original configuration easier. The various --force-conf* options by dpkg are not easily discovered and require the binary package (*.deb) to still be available. Having the original configuration available also would allow to easier generate a "diff" of local changes. This makes it easier to support systems usually maintained by different people, or even systems not using a configuration management system in general. Maybe we should look at [1] for some ideas here. Ansgar [1] http://0pointer.net/blog/projects/stateless.html
