Hi, Marin.

I *have* edited the configuration file, but the "deborphan" default has 
just caused a lot of damage on multiple systems where I use 
"upgrade-system" it appears to have overwritten my edited config files 
during a recent upgrade and, as I reported, "deborphan" removed a large 
number of packages from five of my servers where I have installed 
"med-bio" and "med-bio-dev" from the Debian-Med project. I edited the 
config file after initially running "upgrade-system" precisely because 
of this.

I'm surprised that nobody else has been bitten by this bug!

Bye,

   Tony.
