Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts Version: 1.1.1 Severity: normal
The file /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts does not seem to be considered a configuration file. I have /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts.dpkg-new in place and 'apt-get upgrade' does not automatically consider leaving my modified version of the file in place and replacing the .dpkg-new one with the new file from the package, like other packages do.
