Package: blosxom
Version: 2.1.2-1
Severity: wishlist

During the upgrade from etch to lenny, I noticed that blosxom's preinst
took quite some time. This machine is not really terribly quick, and
dpkg-query takes a few seconds to run each time. Rather than calling it
fifteen times for each of fifteen different configuration files, perhaps
you could save the output of "dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}' blosxom"
in a shell variable, and then just repeatedly run sed over that shell
variable? That should be a lot faster.

(Yes, I know that the rm_conffile function is just the usual one that
people copy around from package to package. It should be OK to modify
it, though; I did essentially what I'm suggesting above in openssh.)

Thanks,
