Package: bindgraph
Version: 0.2a-3
Severity: important

I've upgraded the package and on all hosts the custom configuration file
/etc/default/bindgraph is being replaced without warning.

I've found that it creates the file based on the debconf information
obtained at the installation (not on upgrades), but it should not modify
the configuration file. Other packages are asking for confirmation and
even if the answer is YES to replace the file, the old file is moved to
something like OLDNAME-old. If the answer is NO, than the new
configuration file is created with NAME-new. Though, this has never
happened with an file from /etc/default/ directory.

Another problem is that the fileslist from the package doesn't have this
file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -S /etc/default/bindgraph
dpkg: /etc/default/bindgraph not found.


I recommend to do the following:
* include the /etc/default/bindgraph in the fileslist;
* create the file only at install, not on upgrades.

I'm not raising the priority higher than important as this is the
mantainer's decision.

Thanks
