Upon rechecking Debian Policy, I realized that the current behavior of debsums violates Policy 10.7.3 <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.3>. debsums ships /etc/default/debsums in the package (marked as a conffile) and then modifies it in maintainer scripts.
debsums either needs to stop shipping /etc/default/debsums in the package (creating/maintaining it entirely in the maintainer scripts), or stop modifying it in the maintainer scripts. Personally, I'd recommend the latter option, but either would work. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
