Sure, I can apply the patch, though the defaults file will be /etc/default/opensmtpd to match the init script name (see §5.10 of the maintainer's guide and the suggestion in policy §9.3.2). > That would allow me to run a private "/etc/smarthost.smtpd.conf" (just > as an example) without conflict to the default config file provided in > the package. I'm trying to understand the rationale for having a separate smtpd.conf. /etc/smtpd.conf is listed in conffiles, so package upgrades will never clobber the changes you have made to it. During upgrades, if a package has a new version of /etc/smtpd.conf and you have local changes, then dpkg will prompt you to figure out how to handle the differences. If you want to always keep the old/local version (and have dpkg not prompt you during upgrades), you can pass --force-confold and --force-confdef to dpkg. See this writeup[0] by Raphaël Hertzog for more details. Does this solve the issues you've been encountering? If not, I'll apply the patch. Please let me know.
