0.47.05-1 has been uploaded to Debian experimental. In this version the
following changes have been made that affect this issue:
* Configuration files previously in
/usr/share/games/dwarf-fortress/gamedata/data/init is now installed to
/etc/xdg/dwarf-fortress.
* The search algorithm for data files has been improved to better deal with
configuration files, so all configuration files found in the appropriate XDG
configuration directories are automatically picked up.
* The logix that searches for configuration files to include has been improved
to pick up more changes introduced in higher-up directories such as
/etc/xdg/dwarf-fortress. New changes are now applied, as long as the user (or
possibly Dwarf Fortress itself) doesn't write their own configuration files to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dwarf-fortress (usually ~/.config/dwarf-fortress) in which
case those files will have precedence over those in other directories.
This new version should solve this bug, because changes to the config
files installed by the package are now supported. The user may modify
the files in /etc/xdg/dwarf-fortress and the game will still pick them
up (unless they are overridden elsewhere as described above) and
upgrades to the package will preserve changes to the files by the user
through dpkg's usual conffile mechanism.
Unfortunately users who upgrade from an older version of the package
won't benefit automatically from this new behavior, because the old
package version already copied older versions of the configuration to
their $XDG_CONFIG_HOME which will override the newer versions in
/etc/xdg/dwarf-fortress. However, those users can manually upgrade their
configuration directories to the new mechanism, by deleting all
configuration files they didn't intentionally modify from their
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dwarf-fortress.
