Anyone have a good way to register local customizations with the Debian package mechanism? For example, suppose file X is provided by Debian package Y.deb, and I patch X to provide some functionality local to my domain. I would now like to protect X from being completely overwritten by subsequent, possibly non-interactive, updates of Y.deb. I could of course build my own Y-local.deb, but then I wouldn't be able to benefit from updates to Debian's Y.deb. (Moreover, I would then need some way to resolve the conflict of ownership of X between Y and Y-local.) -chris
