Bug#254312: base-config: add a suffix to the file names of the menu items

[Free Ekanayaka <free@agnula.org>]

Package: base-config
Version: 2.21
Severity: wishlist


It would be useful to add a special suffix to the executable
files in /usr/lib/base-config/menu which will be considered
as menu entries.

For example we could have:

mta.cfg mta.mnu mta.tst

and then change the code in prep-menu accordingly:

find menu \( -type f -or -type l \) -perm -700 -printf '%f\n' | grep .cfg

This way it would be easier for other packages to customise base-config. For
example a package could provide a custom mta.cfg diverting the original file
to mta.cfg.distrib, and prep-menu will not include the .distrib file in the
menu.
