Bug#840300: sddm: conffiles not marked in /usr/share thus cannot reliably customize

Package: sddm Version: 0.13.0-1 Severity: normal

There are a lot of configuration files in /usr/share/sddm/* but edits will be overridden after the upgrade.

Please consider writing them (at least some of them, such as /usr/share/sddm/scripts/* and /usr/share/sddm/themes/*/*.conf.*) into debian/conffiles, or patch upstream and let sddm accept multiple config files (both in /etc/sddm/ and /usr/share/sddm).

You are not supposed to have to modify these files. That is, for the themes,
please create a new theme and for the scripts, please use the Xsession.d files, or create an /etc/sddm.conf that points the DisplayCommand/DisplayStopCommand to the corresponding local scripts.

The configuration keys for the /etc/sddm.conf are:
[X11]
DisplayCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
DisplayStopCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xstop

Please refer to sddm.conf(5) for more information.

That would greatly help those who want to customize sddm via config files.

Happy hacking,
