Editing conffiles?

[Ivo Timmermans <zarq@spark.icicle.yi.org>]

I'm trying to find a fix for bug #90673:


Proftp'd postinst contains at least one thing that modifies
/etc/proftpd.conf:
   
   echo "Editing /etc/proftpd.conf ... "
   sed "s/^## //" /etc/proftpd.conf > /etc/proftpd.conf.dpkg-tmp
   mv /etc/proftpd.conf.dpkg-tmp /etc/proftpd.conf


Would it be sufficient to check the md5sum of the configuration file
first, and only edit it if it matches the one I'm distributing?  Or do
I really have to point the user at a set of example configuration
files in /usr/share/doc?

TIA,


	Ivo
