Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-notifier


FYI: I upgraded to Hardy to be able to point people at bugs, if needed. So I am 
aware of the alpha status of Hardy.

This morning, when upgrading again I received an update for update-
notifier-common. This upgrade included a new version of the file
'/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic'. It asked me if I wanted to override
the local changes.

Appearantly, local settings made in the Software Sources program are
written into this file. AFAIK, it is not recommended to do local changes
in files marked as configfile in the package. Maybe this bug should be
reported on the software-properties-gtk, but I'm not sure.
