It won't solve the problem for the *next* release. But the problem should be solved after. So I guess that's a fair solution (even if not ideal). If you really want to solve this problem for next release, you will have to: * stop delivering mararc in /etc/maradns/ (i.e. no more conffile problem) * manage mararc file in postinst, i.e. update mararc on package upgrade and create a fresh marac on new installation. The last point is not easy to get right. For what it's worth, I'm trying to handle lcdproc configuration this way (while providing automatic configuration upgrade). [1] That said, Russ's proposal is probably the most simple.
