[PATCH 0/6] patch series for review: conffile database + merging

[Sean Finney <seanius@debian.org>]

the following series of patches is a renewed attempt at conffile tracking,
where the packaged conffiles are stored in a seperate location on the
system in their pristine forms.  the patches the follow contain more
information on the details.

the first 3 patches are required changes in dpkg, mostly changing the
interface of internal static functions and renaming/exposing other static 
functions that are needed for the features in the patches that follow.

Sean Finney (6):
  move quote_filename into lib/dpkg/path.{c,h} as path_quote_filename
  move copyfileperms to non-static file_copyfileperms
  update promptconfaction() to also require package name
  conffile-database handling functions
  hook conffile database into dpkg unpack/configure/remove stages
  implement 'm' option for conffile merging during conflict resolution
