Bug#974026: On upgrade, sddm clobbers /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup

[Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu>]

Package: sddm
Version: 0.18.0-1+deb10u1

Hi,

sddm contains a file /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup intended to be
customized... such as for setting up a displayLink hub.

Indeed, as shipped the file is empty, except for the hashbang line and a
single line comment ("Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog
appears"). Obviously intended to receive user-supplied customizations.

However, on package upgrade this file gets overwritten, losing user's
customization.

Shouldn't this be declared as a "config" file in the debian package, so
that its content is not lost on upgrade? (debian/conffiles)

Thanks,

Alain
