Re: Putting apt-listchanges and dpkg output in mail sent by unattended-upgrades

The most "Debian-proper" way? I'm not really sure- I would edit the script
myself and just keep that as the local version. The only problem is that newer
versions of the package would probably overwrite it- but they may offer a
'local version of config' menu like GRUB and libpolkit do.

That happens for conffiles which are files under /etc or are listed in debian/conffiles in the deb archive. So that would again mean I'd have to modify the package

Rolling your own package seems a bit overkill for what you're trying to do.

It wouldn't be an overkill if there was a simple way to manage a local repository and packages with custom modifications. I have looked around and it didn't seem that straight-forward. Is there some helper tool perhaps?
