I think debhelper is the right place for this, since it is already patching maintainer scripts for various reasons. What I would like to see is a dh_something which would expand my #DEBHELPER# stem in foo.preinst removing the obsolete conffile mentioned either on the dh_something command line or in debian/foo.obsoleteconffile or something. Do you want a wishlist bugreport on debhelper for this? Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
