Bug#327020: laptop-mode-tools: User supplied config missing

Perhaps it would be good to have a local overriding sourced file which users are suppose to edit instead of the default. For example /etc/default/laptop-mode ( or /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf.local) could be sourced after the default one. Interesting idea. Of course, the config file is intended as an example / default only -- it's just that it's extended rather often, as laptop mode tools is still in pretty active development. So, you can simply say no every time it wants to upgrade -- I always make sure that backward compatibility is maintained, so this will not break anything. Also, I think the way that laptop-mode-tools works is the way most packages work. Could you point out one or more (representative, i.e. big) packages that do things the way you suggest? --Bart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
