The bug should really be reassigned to base-config, as it's overwriting other packages conffiles, no? That's the real root of the problem here, I think. I know that Debconf Is Not A Registry, but there should be some way to communicate this sort of thing between programs. Or, alternately, maybe the questions should be merged into pam, and removed from base-config? That would put the changes in the right place for upgrade scripts to notice them, which would be a start, at any rate. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
