Well, yeah. :) FWIW I don't think this is inconsistent with what Dustin was suggesting --- dotdee would just be one example of a dpkg-conffile-handler program. So the question becomes, where do the pristine conffiles get written, and when does the conffile handler program get called to deal with them. I confess that I'd prefer a hook specified on the commandline over alternatives, since it would make experimenting with e.g. debugging options a little easier. Defaults for commandline options can be specified in dpkg.conf so I don't think this means any loss of convenience. I'd also prefer if, at least to start, there is only one conffile handling program so people can experiment with what a good stackable interface looks like (those are hard) outside of dpkg.
