Package: libnss-db
Version: 2.2.3pre1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'd like to suggest making /var/lib/misc/Makefile a conffile. I've
locally modified my version not to include the system users so I can
use rsync to share the .db files among machines. It would be nice if
that would be preserved across updates.

The 'nis' package already handles /var/yp/Makefile that way, so making
it a conffile seems to be the correct way to handle it. (An
alternative seems to make it configurable in /etc/default/libnss-db,
but I can't think of an easy way to do that.)

Thanks for considering.


FYI, here's my local change:
