I'm sorry, my english is worse. Hello, exists any way to protect directories and files against apt/dpkg changes ?
I'm using lot of modifications to make my Debian perfect for me (for example modified init scripts, udev rules or my own /etc/apache2 layout). This is big pain everytime when I update packages - all files meant as program parts (no configuration files) are overwritten and changes I've made are lost. Then I must move proper files from my backup to their directories. Now I'm looking for a better hack/workaround to protect my modifications. I wonder if is it possible to redirect package files extraction to another directory (for example to put .protect file to /etc containing line REDIRECT="/tmp/etc-apt" and then all attempts to write file in /etc or its subdirectories will be redirected to the /tmp/etc-apt/...) I found something similar in tool dpkg-divert, but its oriented to single files and maintaining long list of contents of all directories will be bigger pain than rewriting parts of hdd with my "overlay".
