Bug#659440: Patch for bumblebee package



Hi,

I see. I am using the package with my patch applied for a few weeks now,
and it is working all right. Not obtaining "default configuration"
upgrades may be a big problem for users which end up suddenly having a
non-working configuration...
The packages at http://suwako.nomanga.net/debian/pool/main/b/bumblebee/
(which I used before I noticed your package) also make the files in
/etc/bumblebee proper conffiles. AFAIK, they are based on the same
Ubuntu PPA.

Kind regards,
