FTR, I've just checked: apt-listbugs correctly handles the following scenario 0) install apt-listbugs (e.g.: from stable) 1) modify /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs 2) remove apt-listbugs, without purging its configuration files 3) install apt-listbugs (e.g.: from unstable) In this scenario, the configuration file local modification is correctly detected and the user is prompted to decide whether he/she wants to keep the local version or install the package-provided one. Thanks anyway to David for raising this concern.
