It works fine so far. We sometime have trouble, for example with nslcd security update this morning were the restart service messed up. We don't know if it's related to our command, the debian package, systemd or something else. We're still trying to find the culprit.
hi Jean-Louis, I think that with this option (or with --force-confnew), one must look carefully at the differences between the .dpkg-dist config files and the keeped ones. This may help you to find the culprit. best regards, -- Pierre Frenkiel
