Right. Then we talk past each other. I'm talking about the problems people encounter if they modify a configuration file in debian, and then later upgrade the package only to discover that they are presented with an "annoying questions" where they can chooce between keeping the config they want in a format no longer understood by the program, or replacing the config they want with a default file understood by the program, but not having the configuration they want. I expect upgrades to keep my configuration, and not present me with an impossible question, where neither of the two options presented are any good to me. This is broken upgrades to me. As for the your issue, yes, this will break too. It does not matter if the admin edit the file or pointed it to a different file using symlinks. In both cases, the configuration is most likely lost during upgrades. I consider it a variant of the problem described above, where the wanted configuration is lost during upgrades -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
