But still... Also: updating the new config files, systemd or /etc/lirc/*, in maintainer scripts is not allowed [1] (?) Which means that what I could and should do is: - Make a script which can handle update in most cases. - Make manual update documentation. - Have prominent notices in debian/NEWS about required disruptive configuration update with links to both tool and update docs. My newbie skills cannot find anything better. If there is no more input, I will return to this thread once there is a RFS available.
