Also: updating the new config files, systemd or /etc/lirc/*, in
maintainer scripts is not allowed [1] (?)
Which means that what I could and should do is:
- Make a script which can handle update in most cases.
- Make manual update documentation.
- Have prominent notices in debian/NEWS about required disruptive
configuration update with links to both tool and update docs.
My newbie skills cannot find anything better. If there is no more input,
I will return to this thread once there is a RFS available.
Cheers!
