Package: ldap-account-manager
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: serious
The web frontend allows to nicely change the settings of the default
profiles and lam.conf. These settings are stored under
/var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config/(profiles). This means that changes
to this config files are not preserved on package upgrades. I'd suggest
to move lam.conf and profiles to /etc/ldap-account-manager so that they
are treated as conffiles and create a symlink
/var/lib/l-a-m/config/profiles -> /etc/l-a-m/profiles
and
/var/lib/l-a-m/config/lam.conf -> /etc/l-a-m/lam.conf
as already done with config.cfg.
phpldapadmin does it similar btw, it also puts the templates into /etc/.
I'm filling this bug serious, because it violates debian policy which
states that configuration files should reside in /etc and changes by the
user have to be preserved on package upgrades.
Cheers,
Michael

I discussed this on debian-mentors long time ago and the result was to
use /var. The reason is that these config profiles are not static. You
can create and delete profiles in LAM.
Config.cfg always exists and is therefore in /etc.
