Hi,
I'd like to update lirc in buster to fix the conffile management
(conffiles were installed in dummy locations but not copied to the
proper locations). Now they are handled as proper conffiles.
I've tested several upgrade scenarios before uploading these changes to
sid.
This may cause dpkg prompting due to modified conffiles on upgrades, but
only if there are actually user modifications (i.e. the existing
configuration files (if any) do not match anything known to be shipped
in the past).
In order to get a clean upgrade path to bullseye, we need to be careful
with the version numbers (in .preinst and .maintscript). Therefore this
is a rebuild of the package in sid, but the two patches added in
unrelated uploads to sid are not relevant for Debian buster and are
disabled in the series file.
The package is already uploaded.
